---

Shang-ri La was built off a Golgari beatdown with Pharika, God of Affliction as the commander, I then traded Savra for a Ghost fire blade . Since the Deck is filled with big Creatures like the Butcher of Malakir and Eater of Hope the Deck uses ramp such as Elvish Mystics, Harrow and Awakening Zone which is fantastic in the later stages of the game.

The Main objective of the deck is to use sac outlets like Fallen Angel, which are pumped for each creature that you sacrifice, as well as triggering the abilities of other cards such as the Dictate of Erebos, Butcher of Malakir, and Ogre Slumlord to diminish your opponents battlefield, then to swing in the pumped up creature.

Things like Mycoloth, Awakening Zone, Golgari Germination, and Ogre Slumlord are the decks sources of card draw. They all produce multiply creatures with a toughness of one, which pair with skull clamp is instant death allowing for card draw. The use of Reliquary Tower within the deck is a necessity as it works well with the deck's aim of killing off your creatures for card draw, and making everyone sac creatures, and giving you no maximum hand size allowing for more options when it comes to your turn.
