After Death?
What do we do after death, though? After all those creatures die and there’s nothing left? Pharika, God of Affliction has you covered! For the low cost of two mana, you can exile a creature card from any graveyard and the owner of said card gets a 1/1 deathtouching Snake. This seems a little odd, but can be extremely useful against any decks with any sort of graveyard recursion, such as Eternal Witness. It can also be used a political tool, giving blockers to friendly opponents to mess with combat, for example. And of course, you can also make your own batch of tokens too! A lot of options available here.



Pharika is known to be a bit of an enchantress commander for Golgari, similarly to Karametra, God of Harvests for Selesnya. This makes The Eldest Reborn a natural fit. The discard and sacrifice can be just straight value, but they can also put food into the bin for Pharika to manipulate. Plus, you’re never gonna complain about that bonus reanimation in chapter three! Looking at the decklist, the Saga also works well with Golgari Findbroker, Eidolon of Blossoms, Nylea’s Colossus and so many more.
