Legendary Creature — Symbiote Villain
Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.) Whenever another creature dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Venom. If that creature was a Villain, draw a card.
“Symbiote grow-machine that draws cards and thrives on creature death.”
Venom, Eddie Brock is a self-contained engine that grows stronger every time your creatures hit the graveyard. Your core gameplan is to create a steady stream of creature deaths—whether through sacrifice outlets, token generation, or combat trades—and watch Venom balloon into an unstoppable threat while drawing cards off Villain deaths. The deck leans into aristocrats synergies, where you're constantly feeding creatures into your own effects for value. Venom's menace is just the cherry on top, making it incredibly hard to block once it's grown a few counters.
You'll want to build around cheap, repeatable sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Goblin Bombardment, fill your deck with token generators (especially Villain tokens from cards like Fabled Passage variants or themed creatures), and include payoff cards that reward you for sacrificing. Every death becomes a turn of growth, and Villain deaths double down with card draw. The win is straightforward: turn Venom into an oversized menace creature that's nearly impossible to block, then smash face for commander damage. Secondary wins can come from aristocrats synergies like Blood Artist effects or combos like Basalt Monolith loops.

Skip expensive pieces like Doubling Season; use Hardened Scales and Ozolith instead, and fill out sacrifice outlets with Costly Plunder or Cartel Aristocrat rather than pricey tutors.
