Strategy

The "Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord" Commander deck focuses on utilizing the graveyard as a resource and leveraging the self-mill strategy to fill it up with powerful creatures. Jarad himself can sacrifice creatures to deal damage equal to their power to opponents, making him a versatile win condition. The deck has a good mix of ramp, removal, and recursion. Cards like Golgari Rot Farm, Golgari Signet, and Llanowar Elves help ramp up your mana production. Putrefy, Acidic Slime, and Reclamation Sage provide removal options to deal with threats on the board. Eternal Witness and Golgari Findbroker help in recurring key cards from the graveyard. Splinterfright, Boneyard Wurm, and Ghoultree benefit from the self-mill strategy, becoming big threats as the game progresses. Nighthowler and Syr Konrad, the Grim also benefit from having a full graveyard, punishing opponents for creature deaths. The deck's weakness lies in its vulnerability to graveyard hate. Cards like Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void can shut down the deck's primary strategy. Additionally, the deck may struggle against fast aggro decks that can pressure its life total before it can set up its engine. Overall, the "Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord" Commander deck is a fun and synergistic deck that rewards strategic graveyard play and can lead to explosive finishes with Jarad's ability.
