Evolution Through Death

by drespar on 19 December 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (4)


Sorceries (3)

Instants (3)


Enchantments (5)

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 Description

Just a little idea I came up with, mostly in typical Golgari fashion. This deck has two ways to play it by sideboarding different cards. Typical Beefy Green, and Token Overrun.

Beefy Green:
Start out with a Lotleth Troll, and some mana ramp with mulch.

With Lotleth on the field, swing, THEN discard creature cards, the ones you will want to be discarding are Slitherhead, and Gravecrawler. By discarding both of these, and using the salvage effect on Slitherhead, you can swing for about 5 damage turn 3.

After the initial blow, start to get out your large creatures by searching with Grisly Salvage and Trackers Instincts, after a few uses of those you should be able to pull out a Ghoultree for a very cheap amount, and assuming you have Jarad on the field, you can chuck 10 damage at your opponent for relatively cheap.

Token Overrun:
Here you will need to sideboard in Parallel Lives, Feed the Pack (not 100% required, but it helps), Fungal Sprouting. Golgari Decoy (If your opponent is running a lot of creatures) and Korozda Guildmage. You can also throw in a 3rd Golgari Charm if your opponent has a lot of field wipes.

Basically your goal here is to sacrifice Ghoultree while you have parallel lives up, by using either the guild mage or the fungal sprouting. Alternatively if you kept Jarad, you could also sacrifice him, and just keep bringing him back to bring an almost infinite amount of Saprolings into play.

I feel that the sideboard changes up the play of the deck entirely, and if you won or lost game one, this will throw them off completely! By completely shifting gears, i feel that it will confuse your opponent, and after his sideboarding to find an answer for your large creatures, he will be confused at all the Saprolings you just dropped on him!

Hope you enjoyed this :D
Comments and suggestions are appreciated ^^

Deck discussion for Evolution Through Death

I like the idea of sideboarding to an almost completely different deck. I think it would work very well in tournament play and be frustating for them.
