Mox strategy
Necrogen Rotpriest is a strong poison payoff in Golgari toxic decks. Its main strength is turning every toxic combat hit into an extra poison counter, which accelerates kills and makes small evasive threats much more dangerous. The 1/5 body also blocks well, so it can help stabilize while you set up poison pressure.
Best use cases are dedicated infect/toxic aggro, midrange poison shells, and token-heavy builds that can push multiple toxic attackers through. It gets especially strong with evasion, pump, and combat-trick-style effects that help a toxic creature connect. The activated deathtouch ability is a good way to force bad blocks or make combat difficult for opponents.
Key synergies include other toxic creatures, proliferation, and anything that grants evasion or boosts power for a clean hit. It also pairs well with cards that create multiple small attackers, since each successful combat damage trigger adds more poison pressure.
