Deck overview

This is a Golgari life-gain / +1/+1 counters / token-swarm deck helmed by Blech, Loafing Pest, whose trigger turns every life-gain event into +1/+1 counters on every Pest, Bat, Insect, Snake, and Spider you control. The plan is to generate a dense board of Pest/Insect/Snake/Spider tokens, gain life from a huge suite of ETB, landfall, and death triggers, and convert that life into both a pumped combat army and table-wide drain via Enduring Tenacity, South Wind Avatar, Defiling Daemogoth, and the Blood Artist-class engines. Recursion through Moseo, Vein's New Dean, Victimize, and Cauldron of Essence keeps the engine grinding. It is a midrange value deck with no fast combo - it wins by out-valuing the table over long games.
