Deck overview

This deck is a high-speed Golgari Voltron strategy centered on Skullbriar, the Walking Grave. The game plan deploys Skullbriar on Turn 1 or 2 to start accumulating +1/+1 counters immediately through combat. From there, counter multipliers such as Branching Evolution, Hydra's Growth, and Innkeeper's Talent rapidly scale Skullbriar's power into lethal territory by Turn 4. The list dedicates substantial deck space to a dense suite of 1-mana protection spells and protective equipment, ensuring Skullbriar survives removal while maintaining aggressive tempo. Because Skullbriar retains all counters across zone transitions to the command zone or graveyard, removal only temporarily slows the deck down; recasting Skullbriar with haste immediately resumes lethal attacks. Alternative closing lines include infect bursts via Tainted Strike and Triumph of the Hordes, or an explosive life-drain sacrifice using Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to eliminate the entire table at once.
