Archetypes

Combo — Saffi + Karmic Guide (or Reveillark) + any sac outlet creates infinite death/ETB triggers.
Aristocrats — Her death-recursion loop pairs perfectly with Blood Artist effects for incremental and infinite drain.
Value/Blink — Repeatedly cycling creatures with ETB triggers through Saffi and recursion generates massive advantage.
Reanimator — Recurring big creatures and protecting them from removal supports a creature-recursion midrange plan.

Sacrifice Saffi Eriksdotter: When target creature is put into your graveyard this turn, return that card to the battlefield.

Saffi is a 2-mana value/combo engine: she protects a key creature from removal or board wipes (sac her to recur it when it dies), then assembles an infinite loop with a recursion creature and a sacrifice outlet to drain the table. Early turns ramp and develop a GW creature base; mid-game you bait removal, accrue value with death/ETB triggers, and eventually go off with Saffi at the center.

Only 2 mana, so she's available early and recurs cheaply after combos

Doubles as combo piece, removal insurance, and a board-wipe hedge

Enables compact, two-card-plus-outlet infinite loops that close games out of nowhere

GW gives strong creature ramp, recursion, and tutors to find pieces

Ability is single-use and only works if the creature actually dies this turn — exile, bounce, and -X/-X dodge it

Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Bojuka Bog) and exile removal shut down the engine

No card advantage or interaction in the command zone outside the loop

Combo lines often telegraphed; a single instant-speed answer can stop the kill

Karmic Guide

With Saffi and a sac outlet it forms the canonical infinite death/ETB loop that returns Saffi each iteration.

Viscera Seer

A free sacrifice outlet that powers every Saffi combo with no mana cost.

Blood Artist

Turns the infinite sacrifice loop into infinite life drain to win the game.

Reveillark

Pairs with Karmic Guide and Saffi for resilient, repeatable creature recursion and combo redundancy.

Renowned Weaver

Cheap recursion target that can chain with Saffi for value or as a combo enabler.

Eternal Witness

Recurs Saffi or combo pieces from the graveyard, adding redundancy and grind.

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves) and creature tutors (Eladamri's Call, Chord of Calling, Survival of the Fittest) to find Karmic Guide, Reveillark, and a free sac outlet faster. Layer in payoffs like Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Bastion of Remembrance for guaranteed combo kills, plus protection (Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection) to defend the engine. Round out with Eternal Witness/Sun Titan redundancy so a single piece of disruption never ends your game.
