BG Wolves / FerociousBG Wolves / Ferocious — GolgariMidrange deck about power 4+ creatures (Ferocious). Wolves and pump effects turn on payoffs that reward having a big creature on board.How it plays: Count your reliable Ferocious enablers before valuing payoffs highly. Cheap ways to make a 4-power creature early are gold. Grind-oriented: favors trades and late-game value.BR Goblins / AmassBR Goblins / Amass — RakdosAggressive Goblin tribal deck using Amass to grow an Army while chipping in damage. Sacrifice and death-trigger payoffs convert expendable bodies into value.How it plays: Amass stacks onto a single Army creature, so protect it or diversify threats. Removal-dense colors: use it to clear blockers and keep tempo. Death triggers make trades profitable.
Gameplay notes
He IS the sacrifice fodder: outlets can eat him repeatedly since he returns. The graveyard-exile ETB also quietly hoses opposing recursion.
