Commander / EDH Aggro BG (Golgari) Budget Discard Voltron

kirakenso


you wound up picking one of the simplest possible deck ideas...

yup we have ourselves Varolz, Scar Striped in a bit of a madness suicidal creature shell, and of course its budget too. now i am going to go down this list in the order it appears on spoiler, so lets start

first off we have Dark Withering the only instant speed removal in the deck, fits nicely with the theme, i would put more removal into here but if i put too much in it won't be fun to play or face, just like how i didnt give Melek, Izzet Paragon , Experiment Kraj or Bruna, Light of Alabaster too many counter/control spells, melek having 1 spell jack and 5 counters, ping wound up having 1 "arrest" and 2 control spells. and bruna has 6 counters, 3 of them are soft, a control spell, and a SPECIAL spell jacker Perplexing Chimera and a limited wrath

back on topic, this deck has 3 hard removal, 2 sweeps, a soft removal, a conditional removal Savra, Queen of the Golgari , and 3 non creature removal. long story short he has plenty of removal.

the non creature removal involves Bramblecrush and Creeping Mold , bramble crush hits planeswalkers, but not artifact creatures or enchantment creatures, and creeping mold doesnt hit walkers but does hit everything else. moving on we have a soft kill that i promised to include, it isnt strong or dangerous but it works (just not on a bruna after i put a billion enchantments on her, granted by that time she has shroud...) .

moving to the more theme based cards (skipping mana accel) we have Macabre Waltz . for those times where you really need to discard a big game hunter, Vigor Mortis for when you need something back for the long run and Zombify for litterally the exact same purpose.

next up skipping some manafacts we have Plague Boiler and Gaze of Granite , both just kill a good amount of kill, that said i shouldn't need to say any more.

we also have Trading Post and Springjack Pasture for goats to sac with valroz and even a little bit of ability to discard creatures, since some of them i would rather not summon.

alright time to go down and explain each creature one by one,

Acidic Slime Creeping Mold plus a 2/2 death touch? sign me up

Barrow Ghoul conditional 4/4 or pay 2 for 4 counters, more one then the other

Big Game Hunter madness all star, very good and fits theme

Blastoderm does work both alive and dead, advantageous cost and p/t ratio

Body Snatcher very overly flexible reanimation, stupid good reanimation and triggers madness really well. stretch how good 5 mana is

Canker Abomination 4 for 6 counters, not bad

Changeling Titan 7/7 that lets me retrigger etb effects, and steals sliver abilities, not bad

Circling Vultures 3/2 flyer, one of the best opening cards in deck, and that self discard ability...

Citanul Centaurs 6 for 4, and might be useful enough to actually pay the echo on

Corpsejack Menace the definition of insane, best turn 4 play in game

Crumbling Colossus cost effect 5 for 7, more for the 10 cent uncommon factor...

Deadbridge Goliath just way too good, only creature in deck with scavenge, because he is good even when it doesnt matter

Deadwood Treefolk aard cdvantage

Desecration Elemental does work for as long as you need it, loves the taste of goat, 4 for 8 counters and a keywork

Doomgape 7 for 10 and a lifegain effect? sign me up

Elves of Deep Shadow hawt

Erebos's Emissary good way to dump a creature

Fell Shepherd sac engine and card advantage engine

Fleshwrither swiss army creature

Gigapede literally never useless, great ratio as well

Grave Scrabbler one of my favorite madness creatures, 2 for a 2/2 with a good effect?

Grinning Demon dangerous alive and DEAD

Gurzigost super trample, a discard engine, and good p/t? whas gewd?

Hidden Horror literally the definition of black, discard engine and good p/t

Hunted Horror 2 for 7 and politics... love these guys

Hunted Troll 4 for 8 and politics again, love em

Insatiable Souleater a good 10 cent common with relavent stat...

Llanowar Dead legitness at its most legit

Mortivore i like to include a lhurgoyf in every deck i make, this one fit this one best, by the time its summoned it should be a 4/4 or higher

Myr Superion 2 for 5, second best p/t ratio in deck, requires discard outlet, possible to summon without

Noxious Hatchling 4 for 6 one way or another, no upkeep or investment

Offalsnout grave control, always important, good Fell Shepherd target

Oona's Prowler good discard outlet, fine p/t ratio

Phyrexian Hydra 5 for 7, very good ratio, scary creature in general, what it doesnt kill it weakens

Phyrexian Plaguelord good sac outlet, soft creature removal

Phyrexian Soulgorger that ratio... 3rd best in deck

Possessed Centaur flavorful and effective, love threshold, wish to see it return

Ravaging Riftwurm demands attention and removal, and good ratio 3 for 6 counters

Razormane Masticore literally the best discard outlet in the deck, you trade your hand for lightning bolts and get a 5/5 first striker because of it. this is a scary card

Savra, Queen of the Golgari flavorful and cool, hard to trigger but its hella cool when you do.

Sheltering Ancient good ratio, nice and political too

Skyshroud Behemoth 10/10... who wants to win by commander damage? i do

Spectral Force another good ratio guy, kinda just a cool card too

Sylvok Replica removal

Undertaker madness trigger to the max...

Vampire Hounds great discard outlet, p]umps nicely

Varolz, the Scar-Striped worst card in deck by far

Waning Wurm 4 for 7... ratio man ratio

Wild Mongrel omgfhasda dont even ask you know what he is here

well, this is the deck, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask
