Deck overview

This deck is a Golgari control and attrition strategy built around Chevill, Bane of Monsters. The game plan revolves around deploying Chevill early, placing bounty counters on key opposing creatures, and eliminating them with ultra-efficient spot removal and repeatable deathtouch pingers like Viridian Longbow and Thornbite Staff. Each eliminated bounty target generates consistent card advantage and life padding, steadily grinding down opposing boards while pulling ahead in resources. In the mid-to-late game, the deck transitions from board control to decisive win conditions by casting high-impact payoffs such as Revel in Riches, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Old Gnawbone, and Bloodthirsty Conqueror. While the deck excels at answering any permanent threat and dominating creature combat, its lack of blue countermagic makes it rely on proactive removal and targeted disruption to stop opposing combo finishes before they resolve.
