Marsh Madness

Deck:

Foul creatures rise and sorcerous blights afflict the pure. At the heart of the fens dread things rule and madness is the law of the land.

Marsh Madness is a Mono-Black midrange deck that's chalk-full of graveyard recursion and spells powered by the number of swamps you control.

Game Plan

Early Game

Turns 1-2

Make efficient plays with Sanitarium Skeleton and Mire's Toll and set up your mid-game. Don't overextend into sweepers if you have a lead.

Mid Game

Turns 3-4

Develop your board while leaving up interaction. This is where the deck's threat-answer flexibility shines — read the matchup and pivot accordingly.

Late Game

Turn 5+

Leverage Corrupt and Veilborn Ghoul to dominate the late game. Resolve your biggest threats and protect them.
