Deck overview

This deck is a Jund -1/-1 counters midrange and attrition deck commanded by Auntie Ool, Cursewretch. The strategy turns the drawback of blight and -1/-1 counters into pure advantage, drawing cards whenever counters are placed on friendly creatures while draining opponents when placed on theirs. Early ramp leads into a Turn 4 Auntie Ool deployment, followed quickly by symmetrical counter distributors like Soul Snuffers, Carnifex Demon, and Archfiend of Ifnir. These sweep away opposing utility creatures, fill the board with tokens via Nest of Scarabs and Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, and lock down survivors with Kulrath Knight. The deck closes games around Turn 7 using wide token combat and life drain from Obelisk Spider or Gray Merchant of Asphodel, with an accessible infinite combo in Blowfly Infestation and Nest of Scarabs. While vulnerable to mass exile sweepers, its dense redundancy and recursion ensure resilient mid-game dominance.
