This deck is all about controlling your opponents board while getting your creatures in the graveyard to cast creatures with undergrowth. There commander I am using is Izoni, Thousand-Eyed. I chose her because she can create some trump blockers, or just sacrifice them to her own ability to draw a card and gain a life. There are also synergy cards such as Dictate of Erebos, to make my opponents sacrifice their creatures, Poison-Tip Archer, to drain my opponents life, Reaper of the Wilds, to scry etc. I also have spells that require an additional sacrifice to cast them, which helps enable my deck. I have 3 planeswalkers in the deck, Vraska, Regal Gorgon, which allows me to pump my creatures and give them menace, control my opponents board, and really turn the tables late game if I can pull off her ultimate, which gives each of my creatures a +1/+1 for each creature card in my graveyard. I also have Ob Nixilis, Reignited, for card draw and board control, and with his ultimate, make my opponent lose a lot of life by my card draw ability of my commander and spells. I also have Nissa, Voice of Zendikar in the deck, to make plant tokens, pump my creatures, and draw a bunch of cards and gain a lot of life from her ultimate late in the game. She also has some synergy with Avenger of Zendikar, as she creates plant tokens. I have some big demons that can put some pressure on my opponent, such as Desecration Demon, a 4 mana 6/6 that my opponents may sacrifice a creature to tap it, but at the cost of giving it a +1/+1 counter. Another demon is Indulgent Tormentor, as a source of card draw, unless the opponent pays 3 life a sacs a creature. It is also a big creature with flying to swing in for some damage. I also have ways to put cards into my graveyard, such as Nyx Weaver, who on my upkeep, puts the top 2 cards of my library into the graveyard, and if a good creature lands in it, I can exile Nyx Weaver to put it in my hand. There are some creatures and cards that require each player to sacrifice a creature, as a way for me to control the board and power my deck. There are some cards that return permanents to my hand, which allows me to continue putting the cards into my graveyard without worry. I also have some enchantments that can help me out in late and early game. I have Quest for the Gravelord, and in the early game, can get a big creature out before they have time to block, to get a big chunk or two before they find an answer, and others that allow me to scry or search for cards, etc. I don't have much removal except for creature removal, and not a lot of artifacts. I'm looking for ways to make the deck better and what you guys think of it. Thanks for your help!
