Strategy notes
BG V1 is a Golgari (black-green) midrange/value deck for Standard built around graveyard recursion, counters, and attrition.
Its core plan is to use cheap acceleration like Llanowar Elves and efficient threats such as Mosswood Dreadknight, Qarsi Revenant, and Scavenging Ooze to generate steady value while disrupting the opponent with removal like Maelstrom Pulse, Withering Curse, and Day of Black Sun. Insidious Roots suggests a strong synergy with creatures leaving the graveyard, helping turn recursion and reanimation into extra board presence. Cauldron of Essence supports a grindy game plan by letting creatures come back, while Professor Dellian Fel and Unholy Annex // Ritual Chamber appear to further support long-game resource generation.
Overall, the deck plays like a grindy Golgari value deck that aims to outlast the opponent, control the board, and win through recurring creature pressure and incremental advantage.
