BG (Golgari) Bloodbriar Land Sacrifice
Sakura-Tribe Elder + Dark Heart of the Wood = Bloodbriar

---

1. Start by pulling Forests out of your deck with Sakura-Tribe Elder, Dawntreader Elk, Evolving Wilds and Vessel of Nascency.
2. Then, dig for Bloodbriar and Rancor with Altar's Reap and Vessel of Nascency.
3. Bone Splinters straight up destroys for just one mana, and just like everything else in this deck, also triggers Bloodbriar, making it get bigger and bigger.
4. Gravedigger and can get back any creature you need from the graveyard, from land-fetcher, to a dead Bloodbriar, or a Bloodbriar or Hooting Mandrills that you put in your graveyard earlier with Vessel of Nascency.
5. Hooting Mandrills is a back-up attacker with native trample and Delve, which typically makes him cheap to cast.

I'm always open to suggestions or advice, so feel free to comment! =)
