Hello friends! With the new standard environment shaping up to be an expensive one with all the 4-color decks running their fancy schmancy fetchlands, I've come to you with a new budget homebrew! Welcome to Sultai Sacrifice, where value and victories come for the low low price of one Eldrazi scion!
Our engine runs off creatures we want to sacrifice, like Blisterpod and other scion generators like Catacomb Sifter and
Brood Monitor
. Instant speed sacrificing our cheap 1/1s to generate mana and value off our synergies is fantastic, and these creatures are fuel for the fruitful fires! From Beyond is a two-of to ensure we can have creatures to sac at any point we need them.
The cards that make use of our creature currency come in the form of
Ruthless Deathfang
aka the only Dictate of Erebos/Grave Pact left in standard (and the only reason we splash blue along w/ sideboard tech), and
Rot Shambler
. These creatures give us major incentives to sacrifice our own creatures to wipe out and create threats simultaneously. And of course, it wouldn't be a sac deck without the new Blood Artist that is Zulaport Cutthroat! Deal damage and keep your life total healthy!
Utility comes in the form of Smothering Abomination/Altar's Reap for card advantage, and removal through Bone Splinters.
Brood Butcher
gives us a decent repeatable removal stick with a scion to boot too! These components give our deck the well-roundedness it needs to grind through those midgame stalls.
Sideboard is quite flexible with these colours. These are the options I go with for switching up our strats to churn out large threats w/ scions, as well as some removal and even early aggressive shells in the form of
Frost Walker
(can be sac'd to sac outlets!!!). Maybeboard contains options for the more lucrative spender, as well as certain cards that I knew fit the sacrifice theme, but wasn't sure about inclusion in the 75.
And there you have it! For about $55-60, you too can spend those scions to buy all the value, and watch your opponent's jaw drop off saccing three scions while
Ruthless Deathfang
is in play! I hope this guide has been of some use to you, and please be sure to leave any feedback!
