Strategy
Nelly Borca turns your opponents' creatures against each other by goading them—forcing them to attack and deal damage between opponents. Every time those goaded creatures connect with anyone but you, you draw cards, turning chaos into card advantage. Your gameplan is to attack with Nelly, suspect and goad key threats, then sit back and watch the table fight while you refuel your hand. You're not trying to be the damage dealer; you're the orchestrator, subtly steering combat in your favor while drawing extra cards whenever opponents' creatures bash each other.
The deck wants creatures with menace (since suspected creatures gain it), anthem effects, and cards that reward you for opponents' combat damage. Since Nelly has vigilance, she's always attacking without tapping out, meaning you can hold up interaction or block as needed. Your win condition is gradual—opponents wear each other down while you inch toward victory through combat damage or commander damage, all while staying ahead on cards.
