Deck overview

Arabella, Abandoned Doll leads a Boros aggro-burn strategy that turns armies of small creatures into direct table-wide damage. Rather than relying purely on traditional combat math, the deck leverages Arabella's attack trigger to burn each opponent for damage equal to the number of creatures you control with power 2 or less. Early turns focus on establishing resilient token engines like Skrelv's Hive, Dollmaker's Shop, and Horn of Gondor. By Turn 4, Arabella begins attacking to generate steady drain and lifegain. The deck reaches a critical must-answer state on Turn 6, using damage doublers like Windcrag Siege, extra combat phases, and Purphoros, God of the Forge to rapidly burn all opponents down by Turn 8. High-impact protection spells like Boros Charm and Restoration Magic shield the fragile army from destruction sweepers.
