Bello-ing All Over The Place by user5153555

Format: Commander

Commander: Bello, Bard of the Brambles

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Bello, Bard of the Brambles is the entire engine: the deck curves into him on turns 3-4, then drops mana-value-four-or-greater non-Equipment artifacts and non-Aura enchantments that become hasty, indestructible 4/4s. It wins by multiplying combat damage with Gratuitous Violence, Unnatural Growth, and Berserkers' Onslaught, adding trample/menace, and using Bello's combat-damage draw to keep the board growing. Vehicles and top-end enchantments such as Sunbird's Invocation provide reach, and Full Throttle can turn a modest board into a three-combat finish. The deck has no hidden commander; it lives and dies with Bello. Secondary lines are normal combat beats from Xenagos, Skitterbeam Battalion, and manlands.
