Decklist
Jumpstart front card: Plus One

Tell me about dat Zombie Elemental boi.
First of all, everything Golgari is my aesthetic – the only way Skullbriar could be improved is if it was also a Plant. My first deck ever was a Standard deck from long ago that relied on +1/+1 counters and Corpsejack Menace, so building something like this was almost inevitable.

So that’s why this deck exists?
It used to be a Kathril deck, playing around with reanimating and weird counters, but I ended up figuring that the two things in the deck I enjoyed most were playing with big Angels and setting up Skullbriar. So I split the deck into two and built both Sephara and Skullbriar.

How does the deck play?
Mulligan to be able to cast Skullbriar on Turn 2, then start turning it sideways until people stop moving. Keep throwing counters on it – +1/+1s, lifelink, menace, really whatever you can find. If Skullbriar dies, recast it and keep going.

Any infinite combos?
I have considered throwing a Walking Ballista in there, which would combo with Vigor and a +1/+1 counter doubler, but honestly, I enjoy the simple pleasure of building a big black/green Voltron and then occasionally just using Tainted Strike out of nowhere.

Anything else?
Just because the game plan is simple doesn’t mean it’s not effective – or fun! You definitely become a target though. Also, people need to stop blocking Daring Fiendbonder. Or keep doing it, I’m very happy making Skullbriar indestructible.
