Korvold is a lot of fun to play as a casual mid-range commander. Drawing off of fetchlands and Strip Mine effects is big value and very satisfying. Sacrificing lands/creatures/whatever allows for many different strategies to exploit and build-around, and I've chosen to do a bit of everything.

There is a large lands-in-graveyard subtheme with Crucible of Worlds, Tilling Treefolk, Ramunap Excavator, Crop Rotation, Harrow, Springbloom Druid, Elvish Reclaimer, Turntimber Sower, and Titania, Protector of Argoth, not to mention the many lands that sacrifice themselves.

I am happy that the deck showcases a few lesser-played cards, chosen because they sacrifice themselves, like Diligent Farmhand and Font of Fertility. These cards are decent on their own, but they become absolutely incredible with Korvold in play.

Wincons: Rise of the Dark Realms, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord + Lord of Extinction, Korvold beats

Hulk Piles: Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Walking Ballista if I feel the need to combo out against opponents that deserve it. I might choose Viscera Seer + Phyrexian Delver and do it again for lots of sacrifice triggers if Korvold is attacking or I want to draw a lot. Usually I will toolbox for some combination of value and disruption.
