Arabella by user4015409

Format: Commander

Commander: Arabella, Abandoned Doll

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Boros go-wide deck built to maximize Arabella, Abandoned Doll's attack trigger: generate as many 1- and 2-power creatures as possible, then convert that count into repeated noncombat damage to each opponent. The main engine is token creation through Hop to It, Jacked Rabbit, and the token-doubling effects of Mondrak and Elspeth. Firebender Ascension acts as a force multiplier by copying Arabella's trigger once it has four quest counters. Secondary damage comes from Devilish Valet and Agate Instigator. The Jolly Balloon Man is a utility piece, not a hidden commander. Without Arabella, the deck becomes a generic token aggro deck.
