Heyo!

Reason for the Deck

This deck is based off of https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-scorpion-gods-venom/ by Jumbo Commander. I was inspired to build a The Scorpion God deck and really enjoy the idea of -1/-1 counters and infect. I also play in a meta where people really like to use their graveyard as a second hand. People getting to have a second hand seems unfair.

Goals

Since having a second hand is unfair, The Scorpion God enables us to consistently kill creatures with -1/-1 counters, and then draw into more of that, while also drawing an insane amount of cards that remove all the stuff you just put in the graveyard so they cannot do it anymore. I've found with a bunch of browsing that most targeted and reoccurring graveyard removal is more efficient and allows you to get the good stuff and not waste it on the bad. That being said, there are still a couple of "exile all cards" in there. The maybe board is filled with all the cards I found to have an effect of graveyard hate. I do not believe it's an exhaustive list though.

Suggestions

If you have any suggestions let me know! I am always looking to improve, while keeping the deck somewhat budget friendly.
