Deck Description

A Golgari deck based on filling its own graveyard, then casting cheap (Nemesis of Mortals), powerful (Nighthowler) and/or recursive (Rot Farm Skeleton) threats. Born of the Gods helped it a lot with the new Satyr Wayfinder. It's a real, physical deck, made with cards I own. Open for comments and suggestions, especially for the sideboard.

How to Play

First turn: the ideal turn to play a Golgari Guildgate. The fact I'm using a Gate (since I don't have money for Overgrown Tombs) was taken into account during the deck's construction - it's the reason I choose Voyaging Satyr over Elvish Mystic as an element of mana acceleration.

Second turn: let's fill our graveyard! Satyr Wayfinder, Commune with the Gods and Grisly Salvage helps us in that matter. There's Drown in Filth, which puts cards in the yard and acts as removal, but it's usually better to use it later.

Following turns: we continue to fill our graveyard and start to play our threats. Nighthowler can become huge easily, as a creature and as an aura. Nemesis of Mortals can be cheap to cast and to monstrify. Rot Farm Skeleton keeps returning from the yard and puts even more cards into it. Deadbridge Goliath is cheap enough and can be scavenged later.

Other options I have for this deck:
(i) Big creatures: Graverobber Spider, Erebos's Emissary, Returned Centaur, Dreg Mangler.
(ii) Removal: Putrefy, Doom Blade, Ultimate Price, Dark Betrayal.
(iii) Miscellaneous: Elvish Mystic, Golgari Charm, Read the Bones, Gray Merchant of Asphodel.

Would Korozda Guildmage and Pharika's Mender be good options to this deck as well?
