Golgari Standard

by MrJefferson on 22 July 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Instants (4)


Planeswalkers (1)


Enchantments (1)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Golgari Standard

My thoughts:
1. You need more creatures - not that many spells that pull creatures out. You need synergy with my favourite Lolteth troll. :-)
2. Varolz seems awesome in grave loving decks
3. Do you realise Grim Return says "From the battlefield"? Therefore I dont like it here.
4. Drop Elixirs. You should be fine, you will not deck yourself.
A bit of work and this will be nice deck.

Thanks for the advice!
I agree that I could use some more creatures, I'm hoping that theros gives me some useful stuff. But do you have any specific suggestions for now? Aside from Varolz (I actually just started playing and totally missed this guy, he seems awesome). Edit: What is your opinion on slitherheads? Totally useless?

As far as grim return goes, I figure I could either use it to save one of my creatures if they get destroyed or I could use it to snatch something my opponent sacked to keep desecration demon at bay, but maybe you're right. Possible sideboard material.

Elixirs seemed like a stretch but when I was testing the deck out against my other standard deck (Dimir mill) it seemed quite useful; but now I'm starting to realize that's more situational.

I already like it more. You made good changes.
Slitherheads are fine, awesome with Lolteth Troll, solid with Varolz. If you want to push this more into aggro, Slitherheads and Rakdos Cackler are good choices. If you want to push it more into midrange(which suits golgari better) try Deadbridge Goliath and maybe more Elvish Mystics, also Slitherheads are better for midrange decks than Dryad Militants, because you can scavange on your bombs later.
Elixir is nice sideboard against mill but I would not mainboard it unless at least 1/3 of my opponents play mill.
