A sweet janky idea I had, and really hoping to somehow make this work.

This is basically a Golgari Midrange list with a twist: We're looking to abuse Eldrazi Scion Tokens to pump up the counters on Malefic Scythe: Spend to put it on a Scion, sac the Scion to get another , spend t to equip onto another Scion if possible, repeat the process, and in the end put a big Scythe on an evasive threat like Grim Flayer (who also helps us finding what we need), Reality Smasher (which can be cast pretty early with Scion-Mana) or Aethersphere Harvester (crew it with a Scion before sacrifing it). Plan B: Make any creature evasive with the help of Shadowspear.

To make sure we can easily get the full value out of Blisterpod, I threw two Woe Striders (also giving us two extra bodies and a relevant scry) and Vraska, Golgari Queens in. The latter is also part of the more interactive part of the deck. With the most efficient board and hand control spells of the format being in Black and Green, it's just correct to make use of them in my opinion, so we have a bunch of Fatal Pushs, Thoughtseizes and Assassin's Trophys with us.

The cutest thing in the sideboard is by far Warping Wail. I cannot say if it's correct to run it, but you can find 1-power and/or -toughness in almost any deck of the current meta, also there's a few relevant Sorceries to counter such as Bring to Light, Boardwipes or our opponent's own Thoughtseize - and who would ever play around a counterspell against a janky opponent in ? Rest of the board are some classics like a Boardwipe in Languish, Heroic Intervention to protect ourselves from those, Scavenging Ooze against Graveyards, some Abrupt Decay as a catch-all for small stuff, extra Thoughseizes against Combo, and lastly one copy of Liliana, Dreadhorde General for long grindy games in which she may matter.
