A sacrifice themed deck for standard. Yet to try the meta so I know sideboard will change a fair bit once I take it to FNM.

I began the deck with the combo of Abzan ascendancy and Bloodsoaked champion and went from there. Butcher was clearly the 'Aristocrat' to use so he's definitely in. I particularly like that laying down Abzan Ascendancy lets my Siege Rhinos profitably block nonmonstrous Polukranos' and other Siege Rhinos. Whip of Erebos is basically Sorin 2 until I get my hands on one, both which are primarily there for the lifegain and pump to put my guys out of reach when attacking.

Suggestions sought/welcome.
