Golgari Token Horde

A black-green token deck that generates a relentless army of 1/1s (from The Mycotyrant and Insidious Roots) and 3/3 Elks (from Herd Migration), using sacrifice-based removal to clear the path while overwhelming opponents.

Insidious Roots creates a 1/1 Plant token whenever a creature enters the battlefield, making every creature spell a token producer. The Mycotyrant creates a 1/1 Fungus token each time you cast a noncreature spell. Herd Migration makes a 3/3 Elk and puts a +1/+1 counter on a creature. Mosswood Dreadknight recurs from the graveyard and Tranquil Frillback gains life. Bitter Triumph, Pile On, and Vraska's Fall use your tokens as sacrifice fodder to destroy enemy threats. Tyvar, the Bellicose gives all creatures deathtouch and can create a 1/1 Elf token on his +1 ability, further fueling the army. The combination of token generators and sacrifice outlets keeps your board full while removing opponent’s key pieces.

Keep any hand with at least three lands, a two-drop creature (Mosswood Dreadknight or Tranquil Frillback), and a token generator (Insidious Roots or Herd Migration). Hands with only high-cost cards or no early action should be mulliganed.

Early: Play Mosswood Dreadknight or Tranquil Frillback to start pressuring and triggering Insidious Roots. Develop Insidious Roots or a land to enable token generation. Use Duress to strip removal spells. Mid: Deploy The Mycotyrant and start casting removal spells (Bitter Triumph, Pile On, Vraska’s Fall) to create Fungus tokens while clearing the board. Use Herd Migration to create a big Elk and boost a creature. Activate Tyvar to create extra tokens and give deathtouch for favorable trades. Late: Overwhelm with a massive token army. The Mycotyrant becomes a large threat itself, and repeated removal spells keep the opponent’s side clear. Mosswood Dreadknight recurs to maintain pressure.

Board wipes that exile (e.g., Farewell) can reset the token army and hurt recursion. Graveyard hate (e.g., Rest in Peace) stops Mosswood Dreadknight. Fast aggro decks can race your token buildup if you don’t draw early removal. Reliance on enchantments (Insidious Roots) makes you vulnerable to enchantment destruction.
