Ethans Bello by nateolechowski39

Format: Commander

Commander: Bello, Bard of the Brambles

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Bello, Bard of the Brambles is both the deck's engine and its main finisher enabler. On our turn, every non-Equipment artifact and non-Aura enchantment with mana value 4 or more becomes an indestructible, hasty 4/4 that draws on combat damage, so the deck's primary plan is to land Bello early, play a pile of oversized value permanents, and attack with them each turn. Secondary paths are poison-lethal via Triumph of the Hordes, an extra-combat/double-strike blowout from Savage Beating or Berserkers' Onslaught, and recursive big-mana value from Sunbird's Invocation, Virtue of Strength, and Wildsear. There is no hidden commander; Bello's animation effect defines the list.
