Deck overview

This Golgari deck pairs Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar with Master Chef to turn undercosted, high-power creatures into massive card advantage and rapid combo wins. Early acceleration deploys Shadowheart on turn three, followed by high-power fodder like Daemogoth Titan or Rotting Regisaur on turn four. Sacrificing these creatures draws seven to eleven cards in a single burst, replenishing the hand and digging for win conditions. By turn five, the deck pivots into game-ending lines: executing a Protean Hulk loop with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Gray Merchant of Asphodel, or launching a lethal table fling using Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and an attacking Jumbo Cactuar. A robust suite of tutors, graveyard recursion, and low-cost protection spells ensures consistency and resilience against interaction.
