Commander: The Serpent Society

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Golgari infect/toxic deck that wins by putting poison counters on all opponents. The Serpent Society serves as a hard-to-target deathtouch blocker/attacker and a forced-sacrifice engine rather than a dedicated win condition; Fynn, the Fangbearer is the hidden commander, turning every deathtouch hit into two poison counters. The deck stacks a few early poison counters from infect and toxic creatures, then multiplies them with Karn's Bastion, Contagion Clasp, Bloated Contaminator, and Smell Fear. Triumph of the Hordes is the primary finisher, with Grafted Exoskeleton and Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon as backup closers. Removal and recursion keep the board stable while the poison clock runs.
