Deck overview

This Golgari deck uses The Serpent Society to turn cheap deathtouch creatures into repeatable, asymmetric removal. By pairing low-cost deathtouch bodies with sacrifice outlets and fight spells, you repeatedly clear opposing boards of nontoken creatures while your commander sits behind a punishing Ward cost of five poison counters. As opponents struggle to maintain a board presence, aristocrat payoffs like Poison-Tip Archer and South Wind Avatar steadily drain the table, while Fynn, the Fangbearer provides a lethal alternate poison clock. The deck thrives on incremental card advantage, consistent mana fixing, and graveyard recursion to grind out victories through attrition.
