Deck overview

This deck is a Golgari Power-Matters Aristocrats and Reanimator strategy commanded by Tom, Bert, and William. The game plan revolves around leveraging cheap, massive-power creatures such as Yargle and Multani, Ghalta, Primal Hunger, and Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis as fodder for high-velocity draw engines. Once Tom, Bert, and William or Greater Good is active, sacrificing a high-power creature instantly refills your hand with 8 to 18 cards. This massive influx of resources enables explosive turns where you sculpt your graveyard, generate mana with Cadaverous Bloom or Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, and cast devastating mass reanimation spells such as Living Death and Rise of the Dark Realms. The deck converts these oversized boards into immediate wins via combat with Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus and Garruk's Uprising, or non-combat win conditions such as Psychosis Crawler card-draw drain and Altar of Dementia milling.
