Deck overview

This deck is a focused Golgari -1/-1 counters combo and aristocrats list piloted by Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons. It leverages Hapatra's cheap casting cost and token-generation trigger to dominate creature combat and assemble deterministic infinite loops. The deck's primary win condition revolves around combining Hapatra with Blowfly Infestation and any aristocrat drain effect like Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Bastion of Remembrance, which repeatedly kills 1/1 Snake tokens and drains the table. A secondary infinite engine exists in Ivy Lane Denizen and Scurry Oak. Backed by potent Golgari tutors such as Chord of Calling, Diabolic Intent, and Eldritch Evolution, alongside an oppressive creature-control suite led by Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and Grave Pact, the deck steadily dismantles opponent boards before executing its combo finish.
