Hello there!

This is my pet deck, and I'm still swapping cards in/out pretty frequently (as of Aug. 2021) from the maybe-board. This deck is a ton of fun, and can be pretty laid back or pretty aggressive depending on how you want to play it. There are plenty of improvements that could be made, feel free to copy the decklist and edit to your own personal preferences! An alternative commander option is Dina, Soul Steeper, and focusing more on life-gain. The goal of this deck is to make tokens, and sacrifice them for profit. With Savra on the board, sacrificing green tokens can gain incredible amounts of life. When sacrificing a black permanent, we can get some Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos effects for two measly life!

( Don't forget to sort the deck by Custom. Cards are separated into categories to help explain the deck tech.)

If you're not sure about the price tag, consider checking out my much more budget-friendly decklist (@ Golgari Queen of Life Manipulation, BudgetFriendly)

Some spicy combos:

(2) Ayara, First of Locthwain + Plague of Vermin = instant win if you can wager the most life

(3) Plague of Vermin + Zulaport Cutthroat/Nadier's Nightblade + any sac outlet = pay life=rats > anyone else's life total, ping them down by sacrificing rats

(3) Dina, Soul Steeper + Exquisite Blood + any life ping = damage ping loop

(3) Ashnod's Altar + Torment of Hailfire + lots of board babies = lots of colorless mana to fuel X

(3) Ashnod's Altar + Exsanguinate + lots of board babies = lots of colorless mana to fuel X

(4) Ashnod's Altar + Bond of Agony + lots of board babies + life to fuel the fire = lots of colorless mana to fuel X

(4) Ashnod's Altar + Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel + some sac fodder to get Nadier going + big X spell = sac fodder, sac Nadier, sac her elves, pay big X

(4) Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel + Primal Vigor + a sac outlet + lots of board babies = double +1's on nadier, double elves when she dies

(4) Essence Warden + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any zombie on the board = infinite life

(4) Deathgreeter + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any zombie on the board = infinite life

(4) Ayara, First of Locthwain + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any zombie on the board = damage ping loop

(5) Essence Warden + Dina, Soul Steeper + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + any zombie on the board = damage ping loop
