Deck overview

This deck is a Golgari token swarm and aristocrats strategy led by Hazel of the Rootbloom. The game plan focuses on generating diverse creature and artifact tokens, utilizing Hazel to convert those tokens into massive mana acceleration while duplicating Squirrel tokens every end step. With an expanded token army, the deck transitions into lethal combat damage using anthem and overrun effects like Beastmaster Ascension, The Odd Acorn Gang, and Insatiable Frugivore, or drains the table through aristocrat engines such as Nadier's Nightblade, Bastion of Remembrance, and Zulaport Cutthroat. The deck features high redundancy in token generation and resilient mid-game rebuilding power through Chatterfang, Squirrel General and Beledros Witherbloom. Its primary limitations stem from a lack of instant-speed board protection and reliance on natural card draws to find specific combat finishers.
