Strategy

Skullbriar, the Walking Grave is a powerful aggressive Commander deck centered around +1/+1 counters and quick battlefield presence. The deck's strategy focuses on quickly buffing Skullbriar with counters and getting it onto the battlefield as soon as possible to start dealing damage. The Hardened Scales, Corpsejack Menace, Winding Constrictor, and other cards in the deck help to double the amount of counters Skullbriar receives, making it a formidable threat in no time. One of the good points of this deck is its fast and aggressive playstyle. It can quickly build up a strong board presence and put pressure on opponents early in the game. The synergy between cards like Hardened Scales and Corpsejack Menace can lead to explosive turns where Skullbriar becomes a massive, unstoppable threat. However, one potential weakness of this deck is its vulnerability to board wipes and removal spells. Since Skullbriar relies on having +1/+1 counters to be effective, getting rid of those counters can significantly weaken the deck's strategy. It's important for players to have protection spells like Snakeskin Veil and regeneration effects to protect Skullbriar from being removed from the battlefield. Overall, Skullbriar, the Walking Grave is a fun and dynamic Commander deck that rewards aggressive play and smart card synergies. With its strong +1/+1 counter theme and fast-paced strategy, it can be a formidable opponent in Commander games.
