A Deposition of Squirrels by Atalla

DeckCheck Threat Index: 55

Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Golgari Aristocrats strategy commanded by Chatterfang, Squirrel General. The deck accelerates mana in the early turns with efficient dorks, artifacts, and rituals, deploying Chatterfang on Turn 2 or 3. Chatterfang turns every created token into additional 1/1 green Squirrels and acts as a repeatable, instant-speed creature removal engine. The deck wins by assembling compact infinite loops, primarily Chatterfang, Squirrel General paired with Pitiless Plunderer or Warren Soultrader, which generate infinite Treasure tokens, infinite Squirrels, and infinite death triggers. Aristocrat payoffs like Blood Artist, Mirkwood Bats, Nadier's Nightblade, and The Meathook Massacre convert these triggers into an immediate table kill. Black tutors provide high consistency, while an independent backup combo of Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest ensures the deck can close games even if the commander is removed. Efficient interaction such as Force of Vigor and Deadly Rollick protects the game plan while disrupting opposing threats.
