Magic player Stepanov Danyil took this interesting and innovative take on Golgari to first place at a recent smaller Standard event and it is quite the brew.

Fynn obviously cares about creatures with deathtouch, but poison is also a mechanic that is very parasitic and needs a bunch of other poison cards to work. Luckily, All Will Be One is still legal, and with it standout toxic cards like Venerated Rotpriest and Bilious Skulldweller. Bilious Skulldweller actually doubles up with Fynn, as it will give poison for toxic and poison for deathtouch.

Add on to the fact that there are also a number of great cards already in the Golgari colors that have deathtouch like Glissa Sunslayer and Preacher of the Schism, as well as Black's great removal suite, you've got a truly interesting meld of Golgari Midrange with something that can be more aggressive against the slower, bigger decks.

Standard continues to impress!
