Deck Notes
There’s nothing better than a classic Golgari deck doing classic Golgari things. A deck that fills both graveyards with abandon while ensuring only your creatures get to come back is a scary thing to face, and it’s even worse when you have to watch your creatures slowly waste away. Yawgmoth starts the drip with his ability, the Haptra keeps the fun going with her snake ability. Combine all that with the Proliferate effect on Yawgmoth and the card advantage provided by the One Ring will keep you ahead of the game while your opponent slowly melts into the oil.
