I've been toying with an Izoni deck since she was first teased. While she may not be the most powerful commander in the Golgari color scheme, I think she allows for a really Timmy-esque mindset when constructing a deck and this makes her an interesting build around in that color scheme.

She's not full Timmy though, as Timmy usually wants to slap down the big-bois like Terastodon, Avacyn, and other such big booties. Instead, Izoni allows you to just play a wide creature package that comes in as their own answers/effects to replace removal spells that would take their slots. In this deck, Ravenous Chupacabra > Doom Blade, or Thrashing Brontodon > Naturalize. This guys are cheap, efficient, and after they're done doing their thing, they are sacrifice fodder for our Grave Pact effects and let us generate a ton of value off of Izoni and her Undergrowth mechanic.

Some things to note, this deck would certainly be better with our the Black-Tutor package. Demonic, Vampiric, Diabolic Intent, etc. They get you straight to the gas that makes this deck truly shine, and you could probably knock off some fluff creatures like Ishkanah to power up this build. I may do that later personally, but I've got my big tutors in my Edgar deck and I'd like them to stay there until I get some genuine proxies (ironic).

This deck wins how you think the Golgari Swarm would win, by swarming the opposition with pumped up booties. Naturally, Craterhoof, Avenger of Zendikar, Creakwood, Parallel Lives, and Izoni help us get to these silly token states. If we can't Hoof'em to victory after amassing the Swarm, we can easily value the tokens and use them as a control piece through our Grave Pact/Sac effects. At the decks absolute worst, if you can win with Swarm, you win through Aristocrat effects like Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat.

Lemme know what you guys think of this brew and if there are any cuts/additions you'd like to see made to help streamline the experience of the deck!
