Squirreled Away Deck Notes

Hazel of the Rootbloom leads a Golgari deck that mixes Squirrel tribal with the kind of resource-token nonsense that makes Golgari decks feel like they’re cheating. You’re making creature tokens, but you’re also making Food, Blood, and Treasure — and Hazel turns that pile of tokens into mana and tempo. The early game is about building your token base so your sacrifice and aristocrats pieces have consistent fuel. Once you have a steady stream of expendable bodies, the deck starts generating value from everything that enters and everything that dies. Winning comes from either going wide enough to overwhelm the table in combat, or grinding life totals down with death triggers while your token production keeps refilling the board. Token doublers make things spiral quickly, and the fact that your resources come in multiple token types gives you flexibility in how you spend them. Opponents can wipe the board, but that often just turns into another round of triggers and another rebuild. If you like aristocrats decks that still get to attack with a ridiculous board state, Squirreled Away is equal parts cute and cruel.
