Pesty Pests by user5520705

Format: Commander

Commander: Dina, Essence Brewer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Golgari token-aristocrats deck built around Dina, Essence Brewer as a repeatable sac outlet and draw engine. It produces Pests, Saprolings, and Zombies, doubles those tokens, then converts deaths and life gain into drain through Blood Artist, Cauldron of Essence, Defiling Daemogoth, and the hidden commander in the 99, Dina, Soul Steeper. The usual finish is a critical-mass attack: Blossoming Bogbeast or Triumph of the Hordes gives trample (and infect) to a wide board. The 99 also contains a reusable Demonic Tutor and Varragoth to find the finisher. It can rebuild after removal but is slower and has no stack interaction.
