The Plan™

• Finish the game by valuing out your opponent with Blood Artist attrition through death triggers.
• Using the combo between a sac outlet > Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Murderous Redcap(or any other as long as you have Blood Artist out)(you can also gain infinite life by replacing Murderous Redcap in the combo with Kitchen Finks).
• Alternatively, get a Rot Shambler super fat and beat face. They are usually for defense.

The Sac Outlets

• Viscera Seer: This is your BEST sac outlet. This toothy bro allows you to sacrifice any creature you control to Scry 1, which nets you big card advantage, especially if you're using it defensively -- chump block with a persist boi, sac it, Scry 1, repeat. If your board is flooded with creatures later on, it can even let you dig hard for more specific pieces.
• Varolz, the Scar-Striped: This bad mohawk motherf***er may seem expensive at 1GB, but the value he can bring you in the grindier games cannot be overstated. Aside from being able to regenerate himself by sacrificing a creature, he gives all creatures in your graveyard Scavenge, which nets you extra value from your graveyard.

Them Bois that Die™

• Safehold Elite: Our lowest Persist creature on the curve at 1G, these are just here to die and come back, getting you value through your engines, or by just being the best little chump blocker. <3
• Kitchen Finks: This is what helps us get into the mid/late game. aside from getting countered or exiled, the Finks gain you 4 life by the time all is said and done. Some of the best value in the deck.
• Murderous Redcap: Burn on a stick, or potentially game winning combo piece with Melira, Sylvok Outcast. (Melira says that -1/-1 counters cannot be placed on creatures, which means that you can sac your persist creatures and they will always come back).
