Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis
$2.12

Golgari graveyard aggro that fills its yard and floods the board, then casts an 8/8 trampler for free with convoke and delve.

Hogaak can't be paid for with mana at all. You cover its cost by tapping creatures with convoke and exiling cards from your graveyard with delve, and you can cast it from the graveyard as well as the command zone. The colored part of the cost needs black or green creatures to convoke. That pushes the deck toward cheap creatures and self-mill, so a few small bodies and a stocked graveyard turn into an 8/8 trampler on turn three or four, and a dead Hogaak just comes back.
In the recorded games, Stitcher's Supplier was the key early play, filling the graveyard and providing a convoke body at once. When the start came together, Hogaak arrived fast and the deck kept recasting threats from the yard. It was far less reliable against interaction. Collective Brutality, Roast and Bone Shards kept its board small, early burn pressure forced awkward plays, and Collective Restraint taxed its attacks. Wider token decks and card-advantage engines also outlasted it once the first rush was answered.
