Golgari Counters

Fast counter generation and Aggro tempo

Ways to win

1.) win by fast paced hard hitting low cost creatures

2.) Bioshift counters to Walking Ballista for direct damage or to Lotleth Troll for trample with regenerate ability.

3.) create a huge Hungering Hydra with Incubation Druid early in the game that creates a board presence the opponent just can’t recover from.

Sideboard offers extra removal and combat tricks for hexproof against control matchups with heavy removal.

Current deck weaknesses

Card draw becomes an issue with how rapidly the cards can be played, against any deck with control elements top decking becomes a high risk.

Ideas for this would be the removal of Winding Constrictor for a 4 of graveyard trick spell like Grim Flayer , Jarad's Orders , or Grisly Salvage .
