Commander: Arabella, Abandoned Doll

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Arabella, Abandoned Doll is a Boros token-drain deck that uses cheap small creatures to turn one attack trigger into repeated noncombat damage to all opponents. The primary plan is to flood the board with 1/1s and 2/2s, attack with Arabella, and multiply her trigger with Torbran, Solphim, Ojer Axonil, Hawkeye, and Fated Firepower. Secondary paths include noncombat burn from Manabarbs, Pyrohemia, Gandalf, and Firespitter Whelp, plus extra-combat effects to trigger Arabella twice in one turn. Ojer Axonil serves as a hidden commander: the front face punishes with minimum 4 damage, while the back side, Temple of Power, provides red mana and transforms back. The deck is fast, redundant, and can win out of nowhere, but leans heavily on Arabella and is vulnerable to sweepers and enchantment-based locks.
