Deck overview

This deck is a synergistic Golgari mid-range strategy commanded by Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons. It focuses on weaponizing -1/-1 counters to shrink and remove opposing creatures while simultaneously creating an overwhelming army of 1/1 green Snake tokens with deathtouch. The deck features dense mana acceleration in its opening turns, allowing early deployment of Hapatra alongside key engine pieces such as Nest of Scarabs, Blowfly Infestation, and Generous Patron. As counters spread through combat, wither effects, and global triggers like Soul Snuffers or Harbinger of Night, the deck generates enormous card advantage through Skullclamp and Deathreap Ritual. It controls the board through asymmetric creature attrition and closes games via massive token combat with Craterhoof Behemoth, unblockable attacks using Filth, or life drain loops via Obelisk Spider. While highly resilient in creature combat, the deck lacks stack interaction and instant protection, making it vulnerable to well-timed board sweepers.
