Graveyard Overdrive (M3C).
A Jund graveyard-goyf deck led by Disa the Restless — fill your graveyard with every card type, grow lhurgoyf creatures into enormous threats, and close games with graveyard-scaled monsters.
The Commanders
Graveyard Overdrive is a Jund deck from Modern Horizons 3 built around lhurgoyf creatures — the family of cards whose power scales with the contents of graveyards. Disa the Restless fills the graveyard rapidly, creates tokens from lhurgoyf attacks, and enables a strategy where your creatures get bigger every turn simply because you're putting cards in the bin. In a format where every player's graveyard contributes, lhurgoyf creatures hit double-digit power by mid-game.
Disa the Restless creates token copies of lhurgoyf creatures when they attack, letting you swing for double the stats. She also fills the graveyard when those tokens die, sustaining the engine. Her ability to generate tokens from the attack triggers means the deck scales both in power — each goyf getting bigger — and in width as the token army grows alongside the originals.
Key Cards
Lhurgoyf
The original. Lhurgoyf's power equals the total number of creature cards in all graveyards. In Commander with three opponents all putting creatures in graveyards through combat and removal, Lhurgoyf frequently reaches 10/11 by turn six or seven. It's the deck's baseline threat — a creature that gets bigger just by existing while your opponents play their game normally. Disa creating a token copy when Lhurgoyf attacks doubles the pressure.
Barrowgoyf
A new lhurgoyf variant from Modern Horizons 3. Barrowgoyf has power equal to the number of card types in your graveyard. The deck runs all the major card types — creatures, instants, sorceries, artifacts, enchantments, lands — specifically to maximize Barrowgoyf's count. With six or seven card types in the graveyard by mid-game, Barrowgoyf becomes a 6/7 or 7/8 for three mana. Greedily filling the graveyard with diverse card types turns Barrowgoyf into one of the most efficient creatures per mana in the deck.
Syr Konrad, the Grim
Damage on every graveyard interaction. Syr Konrad deals 1 damage to each opponent whenever a creature card leaves the graveyard, dies, or enters the graveyard. In a deck that aggressively mills and fills graveyards with creatures, Syr Konrad pings constantly. Every Faithless Looting discarding two creatures, every Stitcher's Supplier milling three, every combat death triggers him. The passive damage from Syr Konrad over a full game frequently reaches 20-30 per opponent.
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
Mana generation that scales with the biggest creature on the battlefield. Tap Selvala to add mana equal to the greatest power among creatures on the battlefield. With a 10/11 Lhurgoyf or 8/9 Barrowgoyf in play, Selvala generates ten mana from one tap. She also draws a card when the biggest creature on the battlefield is yours. In a deck where your creatures regularly outclass everything else in power, Selvala generates obscene mana advantages while cantripping repeatedly.
Eternal Witness
Recursion and card advantage in a three-mana creature. Eternal Witness enters and returns any card from your graveyard to your hand. In a deck that regularly discards, mills, and cycles through its library, the graveyard fills with important cards that need re-use. Eternal Witness grabs the best one at the right moment — a board wipe answer, a missing graveyard filler, or a second copy of a key card. She also contributes to Lhurgoyf's creature count in the graveyard when she eventually dies.
Junji, the Midnight Sky
A five-mana Dragon that provides powerful death triggers. When Junji dies, you choose one: each opponent discards two cards and loses 2 life, or you put a non-Dragon creature from any graveyard onto the battlefield. The recursion mode is particularly strong — when Junji dies, immediately resurrect the best threat in any graveyard. He's difficult to attack through (5/5 flying) and his death trigger ensures value whether he lives or dies.
How to Play
Spend turns one and two filling the graveyard — Stitcher's Supplier on turn one, Faithless Looting on turn two, Grisly Salvage on turn three. Get Disa into play as early as possible. Turn four, your first lhurgoyf should already be enormous from the graveyard you've built. Attack with it immediately — Disa creates a token copy, doubling your board presence.
The deck snowballs from there. Each turn, the goyf creatures grow as more cards enter graveyards through combat, removal, and your own mill effects. Selvala generates massive mana from your outsized creatures. Syr Konrad drains opponents passively through every graveyard interaction. Win through combat damage with 10-15 power creatures swinging every turn, or close with Syr Konrad damage accumulation in games where combat is difficult. Maintain a diverse graveyard to maximize Barrowgoyf and Polygoyf sizes throughout.
