Commander: Skullbriar, the Walking Grave

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Golgari +1/+1 counters voltron deck helmed by Skullbriar, the Walking Grave. The plan is to cast Skullbriar early - its haste lets it attack immediately - and grow it with +1/+1 counters that persist through zone changes, making it a uniquely resilient commander-damage threat. The deck packs counter doublers (Hardened Scales, Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire, Winding Constrictor, Innkeeper's Talent), landfall counter engines (Bristly Bill, Spine Sower, Scythecat Cub, Evolution Sage), and a dense ramp package of 9 mana dorks plus fast mana to accelerate the clock. Equipment like Mithril Coat, Swiftfoot Boots, and Lightning Greaves protect the commander, while Tainted Strike and Triumph of the Hordes provide surprise infect finishes. A secondary line uses 9 Nazgul and the Ring mechanic to build an alternate board.
