Description is a WIP, and has not been updated with the neon dynasty changes

Asmo decks have a lot of sacrifice going on, so I merged an Asmo deck with a mayhem devil deck.

notable synergies between asmo and food sac:
- sacrificing food to Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar also triggers Mayhem Devil.
- Shadowspear on Mayhem Devil gives it lifelink, meaning the pings heal you.
- Urza's Saga triggers Mayhem Devil (it counts as a sacrifice after the last lore counter), as do fetches

misc cards:

• Blood Fountain brings 2 artifacts for 1 mana for the Urza's Saga tokens, makes a blood token to play Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar on t2, and it can get back Mayhem Devils and Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacars from the graveyard if they happen to die and the game goes long.
• Unearth can bring back either Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar or Mayhem Devil, and can enable Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar by cycling
• Galvanic Blast is there to get rid of certain 2/1 monkeys, and it provides better reach in the late game than Lightning Bolt
• Shrapnel Blast doesn't deal as well with monkeys, but provides better reach.
• Deadly Dispute turns food tokens into card draw and treasure tokens. It draws cards without relying on the graveyard, and the treasure token can be valuable as we run only 21 lands. neat interaction with Nihil Spellbomb if you have 3 mana open to draw 3 cards and get a treasure token

winning the game
Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and Mayhem Devil can keep the board clear, meaning normal combat using Urza's Saga tokens, as well as Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar or Mayhem Devil to pile up the damage.

pitfalls
The deck is quite durdly but consistent. t5 is the goldfish speed, and it does so in 90%+ of goldfish games. it can keep control over creatures and planeswalkers, but t5 goldfish is very slow for modern.
I'm also playing a lot of cards that aren't that good on their own. card quality is very low. Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and The Underworld Cookbook are good, but Ovalchase Daredevil is not.
there's a lot of synergy there and the synergy pieces are very resilient through Unearth, Blood Fountain and natural GY recursion to offset this.

• Street Wraith enables Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar on t1 and reduces deck size. it's played in a lot of other Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar decks, but it's got very limited functionality. Blood Fountain fulfills a similar role, and has more synergy with Mayhem Devil and the card:saga tokens and can recur Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and Mayhem Devil in the late game.
• Bomat Courier has a few upsides. it's fetchable off of saga, it has sacrifice synergy AND discard synergy, and it can refill your hand. this deck isn't very aggro though, so I doubt it will connect often enough to draw.
• Disciple of the Vault and Reckless Fireweaver are worse Mayhem Devils.
• Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger triggers Mayhem Devil and can be sacced to the Witch's Oven before it needs to sac itself. it's a very strong card without requiring too much setup.
• Lightning Bolt is less reliant on artifacts than Galvanic Blast, but we make so many artifacts that it provides better reach while still dealing with early threats.
