Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Golgari wolf-typal deck that leans on the +1/+1 counter package and Sarulf, Realm Eater as its central engine. The plan is to develop a board of cheap wolves, supercharge counters through effects like Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, and Corpsejack Menace, then use Sarulf's upkeep exile trigger as a repeatable, potentially one-sided board wipe. Once the table is cleared, the deck wins through trampling wolf combat - backed by Unnatural Growth, Beastmaster Ascension, and token generators like Garruk, Cursed Huntsman and Hollowhenge Overlord - or via commander damage with evasion from Rogue's Passage and Shizo, Death's Storehouse. The deck is heavily reliant on Sarulf's removal ability to control the board, and The Ozolith protects counter investment through creature wipes.
