The Golgari Swarm are the ultimate scavengers, finding the utmost value in every life and in every death. This deck puts that philosophy into action, making the most of every creature on the battlefield and every creature card in your graveyard.Your first mission is defense. Although the deck has removal spells like Tragic Slip and Ultimate Price to make that job easier, your primary weapon will be wave after wave of willing blockers to trade with your opponent's creatures. Creatures with the scavenge ability, like Slitherhead, Drudge Beetle, and Dreg Mangler are key to this effort. Also consider blocking with Dawntreader Elk even if it's not powerful enough to take down the creature it's blocking: you avoid taking damage, and you can sacrifice Dawntreader Elk to get an extra land.Once you've blunted your opponent's initial assault, it's time to start attacking. Remember all the scavenge creatures that ended up in your graveyard? Now that you have some breathing room, you can start piling up +1/+1 counters on Daggerdrome Imp and Vampire Nighthawk, which are both flying creatures with lifelink. Your opponent will have a hard time winning a damage race against them. Creatures with the soulbond mechanic, like Trusted Forcemage, Druid's Familiar, and Wolfir Silverheart, also contribute to your plan to turn your creatures into strong offensive threats.Korozda Guildmage provides useful support at all stages of the game, whether you're trying to stabilize, on the attack, or locked in a standstill. Its first ability not only lets one of your creatures sneak past potential blockers but can also deter your opponent from attacking by threatening to make your creatures bigger. Its second ability turns a big creature into a number of 1/1 Saprolings that you can use as desperation blockers or to outflank your opponent's creatures on offense.

I did not select or otherwise indicate that I desired a foreign language, nor did I see that I might possibly receive anything non-english.

The cards are great though, everything is there just as advertised
The box was received with a little damage (Bent in corners). I understand this is mostly because of the shipper but if the box was in a sturdier package it probably could have been prevented. The cards are great though, everything is there just as advertised.

Decent deck, but nothing special
This deck is insanely slow, which is all well and good but the late game plays don't pay off for how slow it it plays. I can understand what they were trying to do but before even ATTEMPTING to play it out of the box against ANYTHING, some of the sideboard cards immediately need to be traded in. The main attraction for getting this deck for most is getting a Thragtusk, which is valued at 20 dollars itself. I personally don't really use it because most standard decks go so fast you usually can't get it out.Overall it's a decent deck, but it would need SERIOUS revision if it were to be played against any type of fast deck. If you try playing this deck against a fast deck, such as white beatdown or red/black burn, you have no chance. The Wrack and Rage event deck is much, much superior.

Good buy
Thragtusk, one of the cards in this deck, is currently (11/22/2012) selling for about $20. If you need a playset of Thragtusks, or just want a bunch of cards for not much money (after selling the Thragtusk), this is not a bad deal.The MSRP is $25, but good luck finding one at that price.
