Deck overview

This Golgari deck leverages Chevill, Bane of Monsters and a dense suite of deathtouch creatures to control the battlefield through efficient removal and combat deterrence. Chevill marks opposing creatures with bounty counters, turning every bite spell, fight effect, and deathtouch trade into card draw and life gain. The deck keeps opposing boards clear using targeted removal spells like Master's Rebuke, Assassin's Trophy, and Viridian Longbow. Once board control is established, the deck transitions into a lethal clock using threat multipliers like Fynn, the Fangbearer, Aveline de Grandpré, and Hooded Blightfang. Fynn accelerates the kill by applying two poison counters per deathtouch connection, while Aveline snowballs creature size. Because the deck lacks compact infinite combos and mass protection spells, it relies on incremental attrition and multiple combat swings across several turn cycles to eliminate all opponents.
