🎙️ PDC Deep Dive – Abandoned Army 🔥 This week on PDC Season 3, we spotlight a new force marching across the battlefield: Arabella, Abandoned Doll leading her Abandoned Army! This Boros ⚔️⚪🔴 build is all about relentless pressure, flooding the board with tokens, and swarming opponents before they can stabilize. In a 20-life, duel-focused format like Pauper Duel Commander, this deck is tailor-made to punish slow hands and greedy combo setups. 👑 Commander: Arabella, Abandoned Doll Arabella isn’t just a commander — she’s the banner bearer of this army. Cheap, efficient, and built to synergize with swarm strategies, Arabella allows your board to scale quickly while still holding up protection. With Boros colors behind her, she fuels aggression while ensuring resiliency through combat tricks and protection spells.  🧩 Core Strategy – “Weenie Rush Meets Token Flood” The plan is simple but devastating: Go Wide Early – Use one-drops like Thraben Inspector, Doomed Traveler, and Ghitu Lavarunner to establish presence.Token Engines – Dragon Fodder, Kuldotha Rebirth, Ral’s Reinforcements, and Gather the Townsfolk multiply your forces.Pump & Push – Anthem-style swings come from Goblin Bushwhacker, Ramosian Rally, and Charge of the Mites to close games fast.Protect the Army – Spells like Gods Willing, Apostle’s Blessing, and Blacksmith’s Skill keep the key threats alive against removal. ⚡ Key Synergies & Shenanigans Bushwhacker Lethals 💥 – A simple Dragon Fodder into Goblin Bushwhacker can shave 8+ life by turn 3.Haste Enablers 🚀 – Bloodlust Inciter, Crashing Drawbridge, Torch Courier and Tuktuk Rubblefort  give your board surprise speed to overwhelm defenses.Value Engines 📜 – Thraben Inspector, Wrenn’s Resolve, Reckless Impulse keep cards flowing so you don’t gas out.Tribal Layers 👹🐱 – Goblins (Mogg War Marshal, Conduit Goblin) and Soldiers (Ministrant of Obligation, Raise the Alarm) give flexible token density. 🛡️ Protection Suite – Don’t Leave Home Without It Unlike typical glass-cannon aggro, this deck runs a thick shield of combat tricks and protection: Cho-Manno’s Blessing, Benevolent Blessing, Ward of Lights – versatile auras that blank removal.Benevolent Bodyguard & Standard Bearer – keep spot removal and combat math on your terms.Loran’s Escape & Emerge Unscathed – save your best piece while turning defense into offense.This makes Arabella’s army sticky — opponents can’t just rely on 1-for-1 removal to stop the flood. 🎯 Pro Tips for Piloting ✔️ Mulligan Smart – Always aim for at least one token-maker plus a payoff (Bushwhacker, anthem, or protection). ✔️ Know When to Swing All-In – Against control, it’s about speed; against aggro mirrors, play around sweepers and stagger threats. ✔️ Sequence Burst Turns – Cards like Kuldotha Rebirth + Bushwhacker or Rally at the Hornburg + Ramosian Rally can instantly end games. ✔️ Arabella’s Role – She’s not always your turn 2 play. Sometimes it’s better to flood tokens first and deploy her when you can protect or push lethal. 💥 Why It Matters in Season 3 The Abandoned Army punishes decks that think they can sit back until turn 5.
