Broccoli Soup Bg Aggro

Disruptive Aggro

Featured list~$480MTGO Premodern League 5-0 - 2026-05-06

Overview

"Broccoli Soup is a black-green disruptive aggro-midrange deck that pairs hand attack with efficient removal and resilient threats. Duress, Cabal Therapy, and Ravenous Rats strip the opponent's answers while Smother, Vendetta, and Diabolic Edict clear blockers. Call of the Herd and Tempting Wurm provide a recursive, hard-hitting clock, and Wall of Blossoms with Skeletal Scrying keep cards flowing."

Game Plan

Strip key answers with discard, then beat down with flashback Call of the Herd Elephants and Tempting Wurm while removal clears the path.
