Probably not the best deck but I had fun making it. When I saw these two commanders, my first thought was my best friend Richard. He always built his decks to be aggressive (Virtus) and I always been more defensive (Gorm). Even in real life our fighting styles are the same as well. Him being the agile and quick striker while I am more of a grindy and calculating grappler.

I focused on trying to get Virtus out as quick as possible and to make him evasive. Gorm with deathtouch can help Virtus get in as well as kill whoever else is in the way. The one hit KO would be hitting someone with Virtus or another "lose half your life" gimmick then reanimate the Archfiend of Despair so they die at the end step. Strionic Resonator helps double up the life loss since double strike is hard to find in Golgari.
