Deck overview

This deck is a Golgari Squirrels and Aristocrats deck commanded by Hazel of the Rootbloom. The primary strategy focuses on producing a wide swarm of Squirrel and utility tokens, using Hazel's end-step ability to duplicate them exponentially. Once Hazel is established, the deck leverages tokens both as colored mana acceleration and as fuel for sacrifice outlets. The deck closes out games by draining all opponents simultaneously through blood artist effects such as Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat, Marionette Apprentice, Nadier's Nightblade, and Mirkwood Bats, or by capitalizing on tapped tokens with Throne of the God-Pharaoh. Resilience comes from instant-speed protection like Heroic Intervention and independent backup token engines like Chatterfang, Squirrel General. With a healthy mix of flexible removal and card draw from engines like Skullclamp and Black Market Connections, the deck sustains momentum through interaction and board wipes.
