Commander: Blech, Loafing Pest

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Blech, Loafing Pest is a Golgari lifegain-and-counters commander who turns every life-gain trigger into +1/+1 counters on a Pest/Bat/Insect/Snake/Spider swarm. The deck's primary path is to generate constant incidental lifegain from Pest tokens, death triggers, and utility lands, then use that life to snowball a small board into an unstoppable trampling/menace army. The hidden commander is Dina, Soul Steeper, who turns that lifegain into repeatable drain and pairs with Exquisite Blood or Bloodthirsty Conqueror to form an infinite kill. Secondary lines use Sanguine Bond, Starscape Cleric, South Wind Avatar, or Professor Dellian Fel for the same loop, with Root Manipulation and Blossoming Bogbeast as a beatdown fallback.
