Step One: Get those lands OUTTA THERE! We're only running 34 lands (I know, right?) because we're running a billion cards that get lands OUT from your library like Armillary Sphere, Yavimaya Elder, or Mycosynth Wellspring. Even lands like Myriad Landscape, Blighted Woodland, and Rocky Tar Pit do this for us (and go to the graveyard, which is relevant later)! This is important for two reasons. First, we want to whiff with Vaevictus as infrequently as possible. In my experience, it's actually pretty difficult to flip a land if you do this first step well. Second, the permanents that do this for us are sacrifice-able if we need them to be! Draw a Wanderer's Twig turn 7? Oops, it became an Overseer of the Damned! Not to mention, of course, that this ramps us super hard and gives Vaevictus fuel in the form of excess lands.

Step Two: Get Vaevictus Asmadi, the Dire OUTTA the command zone! Well, duh. But with all this ramp, it isn't hard at all to get him out turn four (or sooner), not to mention the off-chance to give him haste with either Swiftfoot Boots or Lightning Greaves. There's a great chance that you used an Omen of the Hunt, Springbloom Druid, or similar to get him there, so you should be set up to nuke whatever you need to as soon as you can! There is a bit of top-of-library manipulation that works to get lands out of the way. Cards like Explorer's Scope (if you stack it so it resolves before Vaevictus' attack trigger) and Dryad Greenseeker help to streamline this process.

Step Three: Have fun! There's nothing quite like flipping a stupidly powerful 8-cmc whatever while your opponents replace their commanders with lands (or better yet, reveal an instant or sorcery). The entire deck is permanents, so you'll have no trouble accruing value with every exchange. There are little synergies with everybody sacrificing things too, including Mayhem Devil, Harvester of Souls, and Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge, among others. Some of my favorite hidden gems in this deck include The Mending of Dominaria, Grave Betrayal, and the incredibly useful Crystal Ball (to sift away the land so you can flip the haymaker).

NOTE: This deck can be made budget friendly pretty easily. I had the cards Titania, Protector of Argoth, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Kaervek the Merciless, and Liliana Vess lying around. Replace them with the more budget-friendly sideboard of Bonds of Mortality, Borborygmos Enraged, Mina and Denn, Wildborn, and Viridian Emissary. Don't forget to swap out a basic or two to compensate for color!
