Probably. Golgari-aligned so expect Green/Black.

[RtR] The other planeswalker is a gorgon. And Golgari discussion. 3oT8Rl

If you want discuss Golgari as a decktype and its viability in Innistrad/RtR Standard.

It might just be a creature for all we know right now, no?

I don't think Scavenge will have a ton of use in Golgari. It'll just be very quick beats, self-mill/kamikaze attacks, making Jarad big, and just generally having a quicker clock than your opponent. Calling Dreg Mangler to be one of the things that pushes the deck's speed.

MaRo said that the planeswalker was in the trailer, it's been confirmed the planeswalker is female, and she's the only one who matches the description without being too 'creature-like'.

I agree with what you say about Scavenge.

I don't know if Golgari will be Tier 1, but at least Tier 2 is expected.

I know, just saying that there's no guarantee that she is.

Im going to like golgari, and have lots of fun trying to build a deck wth it.

I cant wait until the set comes to cockatrice so I can start play testing. Not to mention what other cards it will be getting Smile
