This is a work in progress, that comes out of some growing realizations about what I like in MtG; sacrifice for profit effects, recursion, indirect damage, non-linear play.

Mana base is deliberately basic for now, and the deck needs more removal, sweepers, recursion, and protection for Ertai, but I'm now at the stage where I have to make hard cuts.

The goal here is to build around Ertai's ability, without being entirely dependant on it; I want the option to counter available, without necessarily abusing it. Effects that maximize the benefit from sac effects are also intended as a strong theme in the deck.

I'm hoping for feedback and suggestions here, so many thanks in advance.
