Commander: Shattergang Brothers

If you can get Shattergang to live a little you can take over the game and lock it down so hard that none of your opponents will bother playing anything as you'll just make them sacrifice it.

Built mostly with cards I already owned and filled in with some cheap stuff I searched Gatherer for.

The plan is to ramp and fetch mana in the first few turns and then play something that can generate multiple creatures or artifacts or both. Then, after you have a bit of fodder for sacrifice, play Shattergang Brothers and start saccing stuff to it.

I've learned that no one will want the Bros to stay around so you better have some protection ready. [Aspect of Mongoose] is a big all-star here as it does double duty protecting your Commander as well as providing an enchantment to sacrifice over and over if you have a window where it seems like no one has any instant removal.

I only played one match with this so far but it was pretty fun until the late game. I did achieve a total board lock-down but my opponents had gained a lot of life earlier in the game and I didn't have a big closer on the table to make enough of a dent. This resulted in a stalemate and a lot of draw-go turns. Eventually I played the wrong creature at the wrong time and was hoisted on my own petard.

This build seems pretty weak to tokens. [Deathbringer Thoctar] is great but I'm definitely looking to add more to deal with tokens, perhaps something like [Pestilence].

Feedback and thoughts welcome. Trying to keep this budget friendly and not looking for any infinite combo shenanigans.
