Commander (1)

---

Ok, here's my second Commander deck! This one makes use of sacrifices, accruing value, being brought back by various means, especially my Commander, and eventually powering my various finishers to victory.

Here's an explanation for the categories:

1) Priests: cards that sacrifice other cards

2) Sacrifices: cards that want to be sacrificed

3) Farmers: cards that either produce counters or tokens

4) Harvesters: cards that recur cards from my graveyard

5) Batteries: cards that provide ramp

6) Librarians: cards that Scry, tutor, or draw cards. If they help me reach my combo faster, they're here.

7) Police: cards that save my cards, remove my opponents cards, or clear the way for my finishers.

8) Gears: cards that can function as part of my combo

This deck can win by attrition, but it's primary win conditions are combo. The core combo of this deck is Myr Turbine+Dross Scorpion. This combo can be combined with various finishers, the simplest being Blasting Station or Goblin Bombardment, either of which give me the win (tap Myr Turbine to create a Myr token, sac the token to finisher, Dross Scorpion untaps Myr Turbine, repeat).

My other finishers for this combo are Arcbound Ravager, Blood Aspirant, Disciple of the Vault, Juri, Master of the Revue, and Megatog.

Blustersquall, Herald of Secret Streams, Mob Rule and Teleportal clear the path for the first 2 creatures, the next two need another sacrifice outlet, and Megatog has trample, the only support he needs is Seize the Day, if there are more opponents left than finishing creatures.

I'm still extremely inexperienced in this format, so any advice is appreciated. Thanks for taking a look!
