Non-Combo casual deck.

Vaevictis and his whole gang of delinquents are here to mug you for your lunch money.

Sacrifice, recursion, and treasure synergies help this deck grind out card advantage while interrupting opponents from being able to set up their own boards. Tergrid puts Vaevictis's ability into overdrive as you steal each opponents' best permanent with each attack. Korvold and Mayhem Devil feed off of the many treasure tokens the deck can produce. Cards like Plaguecrafter and Grave Pact help rack up a bunch of triggers at once. Mahadi and Gadrak see to it that you profit greatly from the havoc that you bring to the board.

With all of the triggers and sequencing this deck makes you keep track of, it bullies your brain as much as it bullies your opponents.

Gameplay:

This build looks to support and squeeze as much value out of Vaevictis's ability as it can without being too dependent on its commander. It's not as focused on trying to use Vaevitis's ability to flip expensive creatures off of the top of the deck for free.

Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire is removal to help deal with the opponents' best permanents but can be a bit risky. To try to always get the better end of the deal off of the ability, the deck runs a variety of cards that provide various benefits when creatures are sacrificed. Vaevictis is also a reasonable threat in the air that can take out an opponent with commander damage.

Tergrid, God of Fright   is one of the best cards in the deck to pair with Vaevictis, drastically swinging the board state in your favour if both of them can stick around for a couple of turns. Even without Vaevictis though, Tergrid still works along-side cards like Grave Pact and the various other sacrifice effects that the deck runs. Meren of Clan Nel Toth recurring Plaguecrafter or Fleshbag Marauder every turn also provides a good board control engine.

With both Vaevictis and Tergrid being high-priority removal targets for opponents, the deck needed a backup plan in case both of those cards became unusable. Syr Konrad, the Grim synergizes with the deck's sacrifice and recursion themes to start racking up damage on opponents surprisingly quick. The deck doesn't produce a lot of creature tokens, but with cards like Squee, Goblin Nabob and Bloodghast going in and out of the graveyard and lots of creatures dying to sacrifice effects the damage can still rack up. Mayhem Devil also feed into the aristocrasts style game plan while Massacre Wurm and Rakdos Charm punish opponents that try to mitigate Vaevictis's effect by generating a bunch of small token creatures.

To top it off, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest works extremely well with the forced sacrifice triggers and treasure tokens that the deck utilizes. Each swing with Vaevictis while Mazirek is on the board permanently pumps the deck's army by +4/+4, but even without the commander the deck is more than capable of enabling Mazirek to quickly make its creatures the largest ones on the board.

The rest of the deck focuses heavily on card draw and resource generation to help feed Vaevictis's ability. Bloodghast, Squee, Goblin Nabob, and Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia are valuable sources of repeatable sacrifice fodder that turn Vaevictis's ability into a resource generating engine instead of just swapping one card for another. Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Chainer, Nightmare Adept, and Volrath's Stronghold help to get back utility creatures. Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge and Mahadi, Emporium Master are often able to generate a large number of tokens that can be turned into damage with Mayhem Devil or cards with Professional Face-Breaker and Korvold, Fae-Cursed King.

OTHER NOTABLE SYNERGIES:

Woe Strider + Ogre Slumlord + Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos combine to repeatedly clear opponents' boards of all non-token creatures.

Augur of Autumn + Necropotence offers very strong control over your draws.

Squee, Goblin Nabob helps to repeatedly feed the abilities of Chainer, Nightmare Adept, Rankle, Master of Pranks, and Survival of the Fittest.
