Old Man Willow Golgari Graveyard & Growth Commander Deck
From the deepest roots of the forest rises a patient, relentless menace. Old Man Willow leads this Golgari (BlackGreen) Commander deck focused on creature growth, attrition, and graveyard recursion. The deck plays a long, grinding gameoutlasting opponents through resilient threats, incremental value, and an ever-returning board presence.
This list blends classic Golgari strengths: efficient ramp (Sol Ring, Cultivate, Rampant Growth, Utopia Sprawl), sacrifice and recursion (Eternal Witness, Diregraf Rebirth, Macabre Waltz, Retrieve, Reclaim), and removal that keeps opposing strategies in check (Go for the Throat, Deadly Brew, Return to Nature). Creatures like Champion of Lambholt, Rampaging Baloths, Vulturous Zombie, and Whiptongue Hydra grow steadily as the game progresses, becoming difficult for opponents to contain.
Subthemes of deathtouch and poison (Fynn, the Fangbearer, Typhoid Rats, Moss Viper, Necrogen Rotpriest, Vampire of the Dire Moon) allow the deck to pressure life totals in unconventional ways, while lifegain-drain synergies through Dina, Soul Steeper and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose provide additional reach. When the board is firmly under your control, finish the game with overwhelming combat power via Overrun or massive single-creature threats enhanced by Prodigious Growth.
