Deck Notes
Golgari loves the graveyard, but this deck really takes it a step further. Your graveyard is just another library, where nothing stays permanently, while your opponent’s is a land of punishment. This feels like a powerful destruction deck. There’s enough shenanigans to keep your dead things from staying that way long, and your opponent’s to stay there permanently.
