This is my Golgari devotion deck that makes use of a couple useful combos.

The idea of this deck is pretty self explanatory once you start playing it, but for the people unfamiliar with Golgari synergy, I'll highlight a couple in this deck that seem to decimate most opponents when played properly.

Temur Sabertooth and Genesis Hydra: These 2 together, always leaving 1G untapped, will allow you to bounce the hydra at the end of your opponent's turn, and then recast it again on your turn to keep pulling big stuff from the library.. Even if they counter the Genesis Hydra that doesn't stop it's triggered ability.

Merciless Executioner and Palace Siege: These 2 together make anything other than aggro typically cry, and even aggro suffers once they start running low on hand size. You can also combine this combo with Hornet Queen to make 8 hornets instead of 4.

Pharika, God of Affliction is an amazing card to deal with Abzan Reanimator, or any other deck that makes use of the graveyard. You can even use his ability to create your own chumps to deal with aggro.

Satyr Wayfinder and Nyx Weaver are both here to ensure your Whip of Erebos and Palace Siege have creatures to fetch.

If your graveyard isn't getting creatures in it, you can always use Palace Siege to leech 2 health each turn to put some pressure on a stand still game.

I have a sideboard I'm currently using on MTGO, but I'm going to wait a few more days before I post it.

All comments, positive and negative, are appreciated.
