Taste of Death

Sorcery

Each player sacrifices three creatures. You create three Food tokens. (They're artifacts with ", , Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.)

Idoneity on Korvold's Feast

3 years ago

Ah, yes. I have a Jund sacrifice deck myself with Mr. Oakenshield at the helm, though Korvold is quite the powerful engine.

I see a few things problematic with the decklist. First, a distinct lack of ramp. Two, a lack of early game, which can be fixed by ramp. Three, there are a lot of places to fit creatures to die.

So, what I would recommend:

Mana dorks are fantastic in aristocrat decks, for they can be sacrificed if they must. Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Elves of Deep Shadow, and Boreal Druid each fill the best role at one mana. I've enjoyed Skull Prophet greatly, for it fills the graveyard with fodder.

Other than that, two mana ramp is best. But you're in Green! Get those Arcane signets out of here. Rampant Growth, Nature's Lore, Into the North (try a few snow basics), Cultivate, and Kodama's Reach are all lovely.

Then, of course, there are some includes that should go in most aristocrat lists:

  1. So, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician is the single greatest card for this style of deck. It offers draw, murder, sacrifice, and cannot be tapped by Aphetto Grifter. Run it despite the ten-dollar price limit.

  2. Midnight Reaper and Grim Haruspex each fill a smiliar role, though Liliana's Standard Bearer is one I have much enjoyed. Dark Prophecy does much.

  3. More sacrifice outlets! Goblin Bombardment is fantastic, Carrion Feeder is cheap whiles growing massive, New Erebos draws some cards, Rankle is an engine by itself, and Yawgmoth is the best.

  4. There are some things that offer much to die. Goblin Rabblemaster and Legion Warboss each fill the board apace.

  5. So, let's add far more creatures than is deemed sanely necessary. Satyr Wayfinder, Gatecreeper Vine, and Sylvan Ranger can fill the slot of a land. Reclamation Sage can be a removal spell.

  6. Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip transforms far too eath in strategies such as this. Grisly Salvage can fuel graveyard chicanery. And Once Upon a Time is something I put in literally every green deck I own, for it is most potent.

  7. Living Death ends games. It gets back all from the bin, then murdering all opponents withal Blood Artist.

Alright, now upon what I would ablate:

Chittering Witch is too slow for fodder and the sacrfice ability is not gratis. Thrashing Brontodon is too much mana. Mazirek just doesn't do enow; she wishes to put counters upon creatures that are meant to die. Deathsprout is too much mana. Deflecting Swat seems lacking. Find / Finality is just too much to cast. Taste of Death is actually just useless. Witch's Oven is too limited.

Okay then. That shall be all from me! You may peer upon my list here if you care.

Happy snuffing!

Paeldroth on Korvold & The Rats He Didn't Eat (Yet)

Acquired Marrow-Gnawer from the Secret Lair. Then Mystery Boosters came out and trashed his price. LOL! But I still added it and Pack Rat, removed all the Food cards (besides Taste of Death because it's just that good) and tightened up my synergy by removing token-based sac triggers like Judith, the Scourge Diva and Golgari Germination. Now to fiddle around and make sure it actually can do things!

Oh, and it's been renamed to reflect the removal of Food.

TheSimikBOat on Food Token EDH

One of the commander that I think that you can use for food tokens are the Shattergang Brothers , because the ability that makes you sacrifice an artifact takes advantage of that food. Also the most popular commandant for decks that use some food is Korvold, Fae-Cursed King .

And here I have a list of the most powerful or decent Food cards for EDH:

  • Oko, Thief of Crowns : This is the best food card, and is the card that makes Yarok a good choice for this style of decks, because with the Brothers or Korvold you don't have access to him.

  • Taste of Death : This is devastating in edh, and works well with the Brothers and Korvold, because that decks normally have a lot of creatures to sacrifice.

  • Cauldron Familiar + Witch's Oven combo: very good cambo with cards that are good on their own, more powerful with Yarok.

  • Gilded Goose : Decent mana dork and good food generator.

  • Savvy Hunter : Is another excellent food generator, that gives card advantage having food.

  • Gluttonous Troll : It was designed for brawl, and also is very good for a edh food deck.

I don't know if Trail of Crumbs is good here, because Throne of Eldraine is the only set with food tokens. That means that there are few cards that generate tokens, but can be powerful if you have Goose or Oko.

One of my favorite commandants actually are the Shattergang Brothers , and I think that you can add somthing in this deck:

  • Savvy Hunter : I like this one so much in decks like that, because she offers artifacts to sacrifice with the Bros, but also she can offers some card-draw.

  • Servo Schematic : I think that is one ob the bests atrifacts to sacrifice,because it gives a total of 2 servos (that can be more with things like Doubling Season .

  • Zulaport Cutthroat and Blood Artist : the classic aristocrats finishers, probably can do something here.

  • From Beyond : The big brother of Awakening Zone , the tutor ability is useless, but works well to generate tokens.

  • Taste of Death : Sometimes, this will be devastating to your opponents (but not for you, thanks to your tokens), and also creates Food that you can sacrifice for the Brothers or some life.

  • Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast : Gives tokens, destroys artifacts, and can copy artifacts that you sacrificed. This is pure value in this deck!

  • Korvold, Fae-Cursed King : This can be a finisher, but the most useful that it has is tha amount of cards that we can draw with it. The control player will be sad with that.

I hope I helped you, I liked so much this deck+1!
