Blech Witherbloom Pestilence by GreaterDolch

Format: Commander

Commander: Blech, Loafing Pest

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Blech, Loafing Pest leads a Golgari token-aristocrat strategy. The primary plan is to make a steady stream of Pest, Insect, and Snake tokens, use free or cheap sacrifice outlets to trigger death-trigger life gain, and convert every life-gain event into +1/+1 counters on the whole Pest/Insect/Snake/Spiders tribe. Parallel drain payoffs from Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cauldron of Essence, and Dina, Soul Steeper shrink all life totals while the commander grows the swarm. A secondary beatdown path finishes with Hornet Queen and Blossoming Bogbeast. The commander is the scaling engine; Beledros Witherbloom is a support engine, not a hidden commander.
