Making a deck to combat a blue, white, green stealing+copying/token copy deck. Every creature worth having will be stolen! Trying to get some quick drop deathtouch and fight cards to eliminate opponents creatures early off, and then anything after that can be handled by the commander Shattergang Brothers . Lots of 1 and 2 drops to sac. Just looking for pointers to stay alive past turn six against this dude. Trying something interesting over my old Prossh, Skyraider of Kher token sac/devour deck. Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated. Please ask any questions as well! (Sorry for not having a deck list, just too lazy lol)
Thanks for the quick response, definitely added some recurring sac outlets as I acquire them! Gonna add Sharpshooter and Basilisk Collar, have both and overlooked the possibility of adding death touch to it! Thought of Spine of Ish Sah but it's a little pricey mana wise, but it just pops back. Gonna keep surfing the web and find some more helpful cards, Keep the advice coming!

Spine of Ish Sah may be expensive, but you have to look at it closely. 7 colorless mana, means the lands don't matter so much. Destroys target permanent, meaning you can kill a planeswalker, creature, land, take your pick. Recurring on death.. well... have a nice sac outlet built into the general to destroy other peoples Sol Ring , etc.

Agreed, just pulled the card out and after reading it and thinking it through I managed to squeeze it in. Know any more cards that add deathtouch?

What could be some fun enchantments to throw in? Good to sac or just to make things more interesting? I like Price of Knowledge , just because it mixes things up a bit when played, and Undying Rage comes back. I'm lacking in red cards that can fit the game plan, so a few more would be nice. Ive got Toxic Iguanar

Brooding Saurian and Homeward Path to combat the stealing.

Lethal Vapors would be fun if you've already got Shattergang Brothers out.

Hahaha thats a good one. Should work nicely if drawn at the right time!

Some cards that have come to mind:
Eternal Witness , Gleancrawler , Moldgraf Monstrosity to recur creatures from your graveyard back into play or into your hand, making sac outlets less painful for you.
Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni , Nezumi Graverobber to steal opponent's creatures for you to use in combat or to sacrifice.
Skarrgan Firebird (and other phoenix creatures) as well as other creatures with recurring abilities like Bloodghast
Butcher of Malakir , Blistergrub , Kokusho, the Evening Star and cards that punish opponents for them dying, other creatures dying or coming into play.

Swiftfoot Boots on Shattergang Brothers to stop them from being stolen. Recurring creatures like Reassembling Skeleton , Nether Traitor , etc for sac outlets. Spine of Ish Sah makes a great artifact to sacrifice to them. Goblin Sharpshooter + Basilisk Collar is a great sweeper in red, mops up tokens with ease.
