Legendary Creature — Spirit Soldier
Note the mana value of each card as it's put into exile. Bell Borca's power is equal to the greatest number noted for it this turn. At the beginning of your upkeep, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn.
“Grow a flying threat by exiling high-impact spells from your deck each turn.”
Bell Borca is a tempo-focused commander that turns your library into a resource engine. Every turn, you're exiling the top card of your deck and getting to play it, which smooths your mana and generates value while building toward a massive flying threat. Bell's power scales with the highest mana value card you've exiled that turn, so you want a deck full of high-impact spells that can be cast on the turn they're exiled—things like board wipes, removal, and card draw that would normally clog your hand. The deck leans into card advantage and tempo plays, letting you out-resource opponents while Bell grows into a legitimate flying threat that deals commander damage.
The core gameplan is simple: play Bell early, then chain exile effects and impulse draws to sculpt your best turns. You're looking for a mix of efficient interaction and high-impact spells that reward being cast from exile. Cards with flashback or aftermath mechanics shine here since they don't lose value when exiled. Your win condition is typically beating down with Bell once it's grown large enough, sometimes backed up by combat-heavy strategies or even a secondary tokens/aristocrat angle if you want redundancy. The deck feels smooth and reactive—you're never truly stuck with a bad hand since you're drawing fresh cards every turn.

Skip pricey lands like Scalding Tarn; use budget duals like Clifftop Retreat and basic lands, and replace expensive draw spells like Mystic Retrieval with Chained to the Rocks or Quarantine Field for removal.
