How The Goose Mother decks play in EDH
The Goose Mother is a Simic commander in blue and green costing XGU, and its legendary creature - bird hydra line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. The cards below are the ones The Goose Mother decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
