The idea is to abuse Valki’s ETB to keep tabs on what opponents have throughout the game. Once enough cards have shifted from libraries to hands, sacrifice Valki using various sac outlets, then return him to my hand from graveyard. This keeps the commander tax from being a problem, and allows me to recast the Valki side to expose threats in opponent’s hands. And if sac outlets are what we use to stave off commander tax, then let’s throw some other bodies into them as well for profit. Late game, we should have paved a safe path through exposure and a critical mass of bodies to throw in front of Tibalt. Redundancy in this deck is key.
