Win Conditions

▸Edict-locking the table out of creatures, then attacking unblocked with recurring threats

▸Overrun-style alpha strikes (Craterhoof Behemoth, Overwhelming Stampede) with leftover tokens
▸Grinding all opponents to empty boards while you out-value them with recursion

Archetypes

Aristocrats — Savra rewards each black and green sacrifice with edicts and life, the core aristocrats loop.
Tokens — Token generators provide endless cheap fodder to feed Savra's sacrifice triggers.
Stax — Repeatable edicts plus Grave Pact effects strip opponents of creatures and lock the board.
Reanimator — Golgari recursion lets you sacrifice and rebuy threats, turning death into value.

Whenever you sacrifice a black creature, you may pay 2 life. If you do, each other player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

Whenever you sacrifice a green creature, you may gain 2 life.

Savra turns sacrifice into a repeatable edict that grinds opponents out of creatures while you stockpile life and value. You flood the board with expendable tokens and small creatures, then loop them through sacrifice outlets to force everyone else to lose blockers and key permanents. Win by attrition, draining the table while reanimating or recurring your own pieces faster than they recover.

Acts as a recurring board-wipe-on-a-stick, forcing edicts that hose decks relying on a single key creature

Self-sustaining life gain from green creature sacrifices offsets the life payments

Golgari excels at recursion, so your fodder keeps coming back while opponents run dry

Strong against go-tall commanders and reanimator decks that lean on one big threat

Needs a steady supply of both black AND green creatures plus a free sacrifice outlet to function

Opponents choose what they sacrifice, so they protect their best creatures and feed you chaff

Token-light or go-wide opponents shrug off edict effects

Savra herself does nothing without a sac outlet, making her a build-around that can stall if pieces are missing

Vulnerable to graveyard hate that shuts down your recursion engine

A free, repeatable sacrifice outlet that triggers Savra every turn at no mana cost.

Free sac outlet that grows and lets you chain edicts without spending mana.

Stacks with Savra so each sacrifice forces multiple edicts, accelerating the board lock.

Dictate of Erebos

A second Grave Pact effect that compounds opponents' creature losses dramatically.

Bloodflow Connoisseur

Acts as both a sac outlet and a growing threat fueled by your fodder.

Pitiless Plunderer

Generates treasure for every creature death, fueling more sacrifice loops and reanimation.

Add more free sacrifice outlets (Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Goblin Bombardment) and additional Grave Pact effects to multiply each edict. Lean into a death-payoff package with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Bastion of Remembrance so each sacrifice drains the table, and include token engines like Bitterblossom and Endrek Sahr for endless fodder. Top it off with reanimation (Reanimate, Victimize) and tutors (Diabolic Intent, Demonic Tutor) to assemble loops faster.
