Deck overview

The Serpent Society commands a Golgari midrange deck that blends deathtouch combat mechanics, aristocrat sacrifice triggers, and poison counters into a potent attrition engine. By pairing aggressive, low-cost deathtouch creatures with its commander's punishing ward and edict abilities, the deck creates unfavorable combat scenarios for opponents. Early turns focus on deploying 2-mana ramp to cast The Serpent Society ahead of curve, followed by lethal enablers such as Fynn, the Fangbearer and card engines like Toski, Bearer of Secrets. Opponents face a dilemma: blocking deathtouch creatures guarantees losing their blockers, while removing your creatures triggers asymmetric board wipes that strip their nontoken threats. The deck closes games by accumulating 10 poison counters per opponent via Fynn, the Fangbearer or draining life totals through Bastion of Remembrance and Hooded Blightfang. Supported by efficient removal like Assassin's Trophy and Deadly Rollick, this deck dominates creature-heavy metas with steady, unyielding attrition.
