The goal is the beat down other player as soon as possible. The deck focuses on getting Skullbriar out as soon as possible and getting him to smash the other player for 21 quickly.

I started with Julien Frezard's Top 8 Coupe de France Commander 2012 list and added some more recent cards that synergize well with Skullbriar like outlast lords from KTK and THS ordeals.
