Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Bess, Soul Nourisher commands a Selesnya go-wide tokens deck designed to overwhelm opponents with swarms of small creatures. The strategy revolves around deploying base 1/1 creatures and tokens, which continuously place +1/+1 counters on Bess. When Bess attacks, she grants a massive power and toughness boost to every other 1/1 creature, turning an unassuming board of small tokens into a lethal combat wave. The deck supports this game plan with token engines like Scute Swarm and Ocelot Pride, powerful card draw engines like Skullclamp and Welcoming Vampire, and decisive overrun finishers including Craterhoof Behemoth and Overwhelming Stampede.
