$0.53
Legendary Creature — Pest Frog

Golgari aristocrats that grows Gorma and every new creature with +1/+1 counters each time something dies, grinding value from sacrifice loops.

Gorma starts as a 1/1 lifelink but gets a +1/+1 counter whenever another creature you control dies. Its other ability is the payoff: nontoken creatures you control enter with an extra +1/+1 counter for each creature that died under your control this turn. Sacrifice three creatures, and everything you cast afterward that turn comes in three counters bigger. The deck runs sacrifice outlets, persist creatures and recursive threats to get several deaths in a turn, then rebuilds with oversized creatures.
In the recorded games, Spawning Pit and Twitching Doll were the sacrifice outlets that kept the cycle going, and persist creatures came back carrying counters. Walking Ballista turned extra counters into damage and gave the deck a combo angle. Gorma's lifelink helped it survive early aggression. With eight games recorded, the deck looked best on turns where it could stack many deaths before casting creatures. Without enough fodder, Gorma itself stayed small and easy to kill.
