Golgari deck with black focus. I tried to make it very flexible on the metagame clock. Wish there was a g/b scryland ;_;
Commune of the Gods and
Grisly Salvage
fuel the deck.
Against aggro, Golgari Charm and a whole lot of deathtouch helps. I let them kill off creatures if they must, because that just powers Nighthowler. The trick with this is to survive the early beat down, which can be done by lifelink with [gift of orzhova]], Abrupt Decay. Hex proof ramping Sylvan Caryatid is always good! and should be resilient.
Against control, I go discard to prevent counters. Control likes long games, but I've found this deck can be pretty fast if no enemy creatures hit the board. Supreme Verdict? No problem, that just feeds nighthowler.
Against midrange, I have deathtouch, kill spells and sacrificing. All creatures are in trouble, unless indestructible.
Against discard, the two mill cards as well as Erebos, God of the Dead help replenish the hand, and my own discard could be used against theirs to neutralise each other.
Against hex proof, Devour Flesh allows for destruction where it would otherwise be impossible! And prevents the associated opponents life gain using Erebos, God of the Dead as does
Agent of the Fates
and monstrous hyphonia the cruel, let alone the enchantment destruction spells.
I'm not too sure about the use of hyphonia the cruel, so any alternative suggestions are appreciated, preferably black to add to devotion! and a creature.
