The idea behind this deck is to control the field using the commander and sacrificing tokens to keep your opponents board clear, then winning either with those same tokens, with other value creatures, or going infinite.

Using the tokens from Myr Turbine as artifacts to sac will keep artifacts from being a problem. This deck does have a few primary weaknesses: Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite being the primary one. While she's out expect the deck to be able to do next to nothing as almost every token produced is a 1/1 or a 2/2. Shattergang can stick around if that somehow stays relevant. Sigarda, Host of Herons and similar effects. Sigarda is the most powerful of those efects since it legit can only be answered with a board wipe once she's down.

This deck wants to produce a cubic fuckton of mana. Enough to cast the commander AND ideally sacrifice something the same turn is a tall order and until they print a Jund Training Grounds it will always want for mana. Ramping in the early turns with Crop Rotation, all the artifact mana, Kura, the Boundless Sky and others is certainly going to as important as getting your token generation online.

Infinities:

Grave Titan + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar= infinite creatures, also works with Hornet Queen and Avenger of Zendikar

Atsushi, the Blazing Sky + Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar= Make infinite colored mana with the treasures, then play my entire deck

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Zealous Conscripts= infinite haste 3/3s

Combos:

Myr Turbine + Trading Post

Myr Turbine + Trading Post + Solemn Simulacrum

-1 Trading Post +1Black Market Connections: Similar to Bootleggers' Stash, this can make a bunch of treasures passively. It also can draw me extra cards, and make better bodies than 0/1's. Additionally, it being another enchantment to sac in a pinch is relevant. Ramp, creatures and draw all on one card, that can all happen at the same time, instead of over various turns.

-1Xenagos, the Reveler +1 Mahadi, Emporium Master: Mahadi is also similar to Bootleggers' Stash, as he can make a bunch of treasures "passively". It's a lot more whelming, but turning an activation of Shattergang on a full board turns 3 mana into 4, which is both positive mana, and positive field presence. Xenagos is cool, but his tokens are uninspired, and his mana is 1) not black, and 2) only for that phase.
