So, I'm new here, but I've been trying to make myself a decent Golgari deck with nothing that will be cycled out in the near future, because I like to plan ahead.
Unfortunately, I have limited deck knowledge and cash, so some of these cards (i.e.
Overgrown Tomb
) can be somewhat substituted (i.e.
Golgari Guildgate
)
So, the focus of this deck is to try and win with
Lotleth Troll
and
Dreg Mangler
as soon as possible, using your umpteen-dozen kill spells to make sure nothing dangerous is there to stop you.
CREATURES -
Lotleth Troll
- The bread and butter of almost any Golgari deck these days, and this deck is no exception. Just too good to pass up.
Slitherhead
- Cheap as chips and very useful at the beginning of the game.
Dreg Mangler
- Another staple. They hit so hard for their cost.
Corpsejack Menace - Buffs your scavenges and the discard feature of
Lotleth Troll
. You can also use it offensively and defensively as 4/4 isn't bad at all.
Deadbridge Goliath - One of the walking tanks of the deck. Bring it out as soon as you can and block anything that threatens you.
Desecration Demon - This card is just too good in my opinion to pass up. Fly over their heads for massive chunks or scare them into killing their own things.
Varolz, the Scar-Striped
- Another staple of the deck. Cheap and effective, it can provide massive buffs to everything you need throughout the game.
Deathrite Shaman
- Dirt cheap and very useful throughout the game. Anyone who plays Golgari and doesn't run
Deathrite Shaman
needs to rethink everything.
INSTANTS -
Ultimate Price - Very useful for getting rid of small things early to beat the opponent down as fast as possible.
Abrupt Decay - Also one of the core cards in any Golgari deck. Useful for getting dangerously cheap things away as quickly as possible.
Putrefy
- Just in case things are getting extremely dire, this can bump off just about anything, provided it isn't countered.
SORCERIES -
Gaze of Granite
- Like
Killing Wave
with no opportunity to bring anything back. I do love my kill spells
SIDEBOARD -
Wasteland Viper - Primary used to kill Hexproof targets, it can also be used as cheap cannon fodder.
Devour Flesh - So you board wiped with
Gaze of Granite
and the pesky
Obzedat, Ghost Council
was blinked so it lived. Well, not for long. Can also be used in a pinch to regain some life.
Naturalize - Standard Green sideboard card..
Golgari Charm
- Haha, no Supreme Verdict for you!
Renegade Krasis
- Theoretically this could be used in the same way as buffing Wild Beastmaster beyond repair, with the added bonus of everything else gets buffed as well. Also pretty cost effective.
Skylasher - Used to counter big threats such as
Geist of Saint Traft
at the drop of a hat. Also cannot be countered!
Thanks for viewing guys, and as always, if you have any suggestions, feel free to suggest them!
