Wither deck WIP. The goal is to boardwipe with wither counters in play, and reap rewards of it however possible.

Strategy:

First, cheap drops to spread counters: Fume Spitter, Sickle Ripper, Thrull Parasite, Cinderbones

Then, upset the battlefield: Black Sun's Zenith, Barter in Blood, Grim Affliction, Blowfly Infestation, Skin render, Contagion Clasp, Needle Specter, Crumbling Ashes

Capitalize on boardwiping: Deity of Scars Undying Evil, Nest of Scarabs, Necroskitter, Dusk Urchins

Questions/looking for help on:

• Card Draw! Lots of inexpensive drops means playing the entire hand pretty fast.
• Graveyard shenanigans for either recovery or benefit from large graveyards.
• Do I add high toughness creatures to survive board-wide wither?

Avoiding infect, so no Virulent Wound and poison counters. Also trying monoblack, sadly no Obelisk Spider. Wither is already slow so slower effects like Torture aren't beneficial.
