Deck overview

This Golgari deck pairs Erinis, Gloom Stalker with Criminal Past to form an aggressive lands-and-graveyard Voltron strategy. Erinis attacks early with deathtouch and menace, retrieving milled fetchlands and utility lands directly to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Criminal Past rapidly inflates Erinis's power based on the number of creature cards in the graveyard. Supported by efficient self-mill, dredge, and targeted entomb effects, the deck quickly converts early ramp into high-power combat steps, granting trample through Brawn or unblockability via utility lands. Beyond commander damage, the deck features lethal redundancy in Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, Old Stickfingers, and Splinterfright, allowing it to fling massive creatures across the table or generate overwhelming mana with Cabal Coffers and Songs of the Damned into Torment of Hailfire. It combines resilient land-based engines with explosive mid-game lethality.
