Deck overview

This is a general-power Golgari attrition deck led by Dina, Soul Steeper. It creates Pest tokens, gains life when creatures die or attack, and converts those events into table-wide life loss. The strongest board-control package is Sothera, the Supervoid with a repeatable sacrifice outlet: each sacrificed creature exiles a creature from every opponent. Vampiric Rites, Braids, Arisen Nightmare, Vraan, Executioner Thane, Arnyn, Deathbloom Botanist, and Vengeful Bloodwitch provide additional value from deaths. The deck can assemble this plan around turn 7, but its finish is not deterministic. Large effects such as Exsanguinate, Wound Reflection, and level-three Warlock Class need substantial mana and multiple supporting pieces. The deck has useful removal and graveyard hate, but little protection and no counterspell package. It is strongest against creature-based tables and weakest when opponents use fast combo, noncreature engines, or repeated exile and enchantment removal.
