Deck overview

This Golgari deck is an aggressive Voltron strategy centered on Skullbriar, the Walking Grave. The primary game plan deploys Skullbriar on Turn 2, immediately attacking to begin accumulating +1/+1 counters. The deck leverages heavy counter-multiplying engines such as Branching Evolution, Corpsejack Menace, Hydra's Growth, and Innkeeper's Talent to rapidly scale Skullbriar's power into lethal commander-damage territory by Turn 4. Evasion enablers like Duskshell Crawler, Shadowspear, and Minas Morgul, Dark Fortress ensure attacks connect through blockers. Crucially, Skullbriar retains all counters when moving between the battlefield, graveyard, exile, and command zone, minimizing the setback of removal. Efficient protection spells like Heroic Intervention and Tamiyo's Safekeeping keep the commander alive, while low-cost reanimation spells like Reanimate and Unearth allow instant tempo recovery. While vulnerable to bounce spells that reset counters, the deck delivers an aggressive, highly resilient combat clock capable of eliminating the table in sequential attacks.
