This casual commander deck is an attrition style deck that works by sacrificing creatures, gaining value from those creatures dying and them bringing them back from the graveyard to sacrifice again.

I like to construct Commander Decks using the 8x8 Theory, if you don't know what that is you can find info on it here: https://the8x8theory.tumblr.com/

I like to use this way of deck building because not only does it keep me focused when brewing but it also makes it much easier to explain the deck.

In short though the theory is that you can make a 100 card deck by choosing 8 "packages" of general effects you want and putting in 8 cards for each effect then adding in 35 land and the commander. I stick to this for the most part but sometimes I will put in a double package or a half package for effects I need to see more or less often depending on the deck.

The Packages I use for this deck are: - Card Advantage - Ramp - Removal (x2) - Recursive Creatures - Sac Outlets - Death Triggers - Creature Recursion (x0.5) - Judith Synergy (x0.5)

Card Advantage, Ramp and Removal are effects almost every commander deck needs and Judith is not an exception here. I decided to add in a second removal package for this deck because being a slow deck it is more important that I can deal with any threat than normal.

The Judith Synergy package is a half package (4 cards) of cards that specifically synergize with Judith. We have a swiftfoot boots in here to give her hexproof while the other 3 cards make Judith's ping ability much stronger. Death Pits of Rath and Gorgons Flail make Judith's ability lethal to creatures while Everlasting Torment gives her wither and stops my opponents from life gaining away from Judiths pings killing them.

The other 3 packages are my way of winning the game. I play creatures that can bring themselves back, use sacrifice outlets to sacrifice them and gain value off of the death triggers. These effects often can't win the game on their own but it adds up pretty quickly.
