Commander deckB
Massacre Girl, Known Killer
Overwhelm opponents with a swarm of tokens while using Massacre Girl's wither effect and -1/-1 counter synergies like Nest of Scarabs and Blowfly Infestation to shrink and destroy enemy blockers while drawing massive amounts of cards.
Asked for“I want to create a token creature spam with Massacre Girl, Known Killer as a commander, I need to overwhelm the enemies having a lot of creatures on the table, and these creatures when attacking will give -1/-1 to the enemy that blocked or I'm defending. The thing is, I want this deck to be very budget, I want that any Creature, Enchantment, Sorcery, Instant or Land be more than 2 dollars, artifacts are ok if they are for ramp or something that makes sense with this deck I want cards that mess with the -1/-1 too, like Blowfly Infestation, or things like midnight banshee, but the purpuse still needs to be having a lot of creatures in the table, token and non-token”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
