The Serpent by Kabanoski

Format: Commander

Commander: The Serpent Society

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Golgari deathtouch-and-poison deck helmed by The Serpent Society, which converts every deathtouch death into a repeatable edict - each opponent sacrifices a nontoken creature. The deck floods the board with cheap deathtouch bodies, uses Fynn, the Fangbearer and toxic creatures to stack poison counters, and accelerates the clock with proliferate effects. Its primary win is poison via combat, with Triumph of the Hordes as a one-swing infect finisher, and it carries a hidden two-card infinite in Triskelion + Urban Daggertooth that deals infinite damage. The commander's edict engine clears blockers and grinds out value, while a modest recursion package and a handful of tutors give the deck multiple paths to its pieces.
