The deck is helmed by Beau (Qala, Ajani’s Pridemate) and it is currently rabbit (Hare Apparent) season. If you look closely, you’ll see that the whole family is here to help beau hunt. Harley, our new kitten, is a Helpful Hunter, my fiancé protects Beau as Mother of Runes, and I help make him stronger as Daxos, Blessed by the sun.\n"}]}

I wanted this deck to be easy to understand, straight forward, and (I think it is) fun deck to play. Of the possible commanders to choose from I was intrigued by Braulios of Pheres Band. I liked the idea for a mono-green deck with fast ramp with landfall and land synergy in the deck. However, the foundational mechanic I thought could work well with this commander (and to give it my own little flavor) was Commander Damage. This deck central idea is to ramp, build Braulios' power, give different protection and trample, and then damage to victory with commander damage. The deck itself may still need some tweaking to be better synergistic, but I feel like this deck stands as a fun deck to play. \n\nIs this deck a little janky? I think so \nDoes the deck do something that is kind of unexpected from this commander? I think so \nDoes it focus on one of Commander's foundational mechanic? Yes, it does \nDoes it feel fun to play? I think it does. \n\n\n\n"}]}
