Dang, I broke my Skullbriar. I dropped him into a deck, and he got broken.

He just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and with the new tuck rule for Commander, there's virtually no way to stop him.

Interesting interactions:

Corpsejack Menace + Forgotten Ancient + Varolz, the Scar-Striped allows you to scavenge Skullbriar, the Walking Grave from the graveyard to transfer him to the command zone, place counters on Ancient, double them with Corpsejack. Cast Skullbriar, transfer the counters from Ancient to Skullbriar to double them again. Rinse, repeat. You can also cast Skullbriar from the graveyard with Necromantic Summons and you can get 2 additional counters with spell mastery.
