How Atlas decks play in EDH

Atlas, Sizable Stooge is a Golgari commander in black and green costing 2B/GB/G, and its legendary creature - human villain line shapes the whole deck around it. Life gain is a resource here rather than a safety net, so cards that convert life totals into damage or draw belong in the list. The card rewards attacking, so the deck is built to keep creatures pointed at opponents rather than sitting back. The cards below are the ones Atlas, Sizable Stooge decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
