Deck overview

This is a Golgari deathtouch tribal attrition deck helmed by The Serpent Society, whose death-trigger turns every dying deathtouch creature into a one-sided edict against each opponent. The deck floods the board with cheap deathtouch bodies that double as removal, then converts them into wins through three overlapping channels: poison accumulation via Fynn, the Fangbearer and toxic creatures, table-wide life drain from Bastion of Remembrance, Poison-Tip Archer, and Arnyn, Deathbloom Botanist, and a deep recursion suite (Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Isareth the Awakener, Archpriest of Shadows, Witch of the Moors) that keeps the engine refilling. The commander is a payoff rather than a prerequisite - the deck's many independent deathtouch threats, mana dorks, and draw engines (Chevill, Bane of Monsters, Braids, Arisen Nightmare, Harvester of Souls) mean it grinds value and wins through incremental attrition rather than any single combo line.
