Arabella, the Abandoned Doll
Arabella, Abandoned Doll provides a compact engine for graveyard and token decks in Duskmourn play. The card reads as a utility creature that profits from bodies in the yard and rewards incremental attrition. If you pilot black tempo or sacrifice themes, Arabella slots into midrange shells where recurring value and a steady stream of chump blockers keep the opponent honest.
In lore, Arabella is the echo left behind when a house empties and memory hardens into a thing that moves. Mechanically she encourages plays that trade pieces early and grind later. Use her to pressure planeswalkers, fuel sacrifice outlets, or bolster an army of small artifacts. Near Mint Foil condition makes this a clean pick for both play and display.
