---

Value creation by sacrificing your own creatures and causing your opponents to sacrifice theirs.

• Remember Karador, Ghost Chieftain can only cast one creature on your turn. Make sure its Karmic Guide or Recruiter of the Guard or Reveillark
• Sac Outlets: High Market , Ashnod's Altar, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Diabolic Intent , Altar of Dementia, Bloodthrone Vampire, Victimize
• Draw through playing enchantments with one of the three enchantresses Verduran Enchantress, Mesa Enchantress and Argothian Enchantress

Win Conditions:

1. AGGRO - Boonweaver Giant combo to get all the creatures out of your deck and graveyard
2. EFFECT - Blood Artist remaining in play while sacrificing an infinite loop of creatures.
3. SPELL - Exsanguinate after making a lot of mana from repeated sacrificing into Ashnod's Altar

Mana acceleration through the following spells

• Nissa's Pilgrimage get out some forests
• Far Wanderings threshold gives you three basic lands
• Primal Growth sac outlet and get two lands
• Harrow sacrifice one land and get two lands you need
• Sakura-Tribe Elder the creature you want to sacrifice or block with
• Krosan Verge sacrifice one land and get two lands you need
• Crop Rotation sacrifice the land you don't need for the one you want
• Ash Barrens basic landcycling
• Burgeoning play a land when everyone else plays a land
• Splendid Reclamation puts all the land in your graveyard into play

THE BOONWEAVER COMBOThe easiest way to set it up is Academy Rector + infinite sac outlet + any creature. Here is what to do :

• Sacrifice Academy Rector, get Pattern of Rebirth,
• enchant the 3rd creature. Sacrifice this 3rd creature,
• Pattern triggers, get Boonweaver Giant that gets back Pattern of Rebirth.
• Sacrifice Boonweaver Giant, get Karmic Guide, get back Boonweaver Giant (and Pattern of Rebirth).
• Sacrifice Boonweaver Giant, get Reveillark.
• Sacrifice Karmic Guide. Sacrifice Reveillark, get back Karmic Guide. Get back Boonweaver Giant with Karmic Guide.
• Sacrifice Boonweaver Giant, get Fiend Hunter. Exile Karmic Guide.
• Sacrifice Fiend Hunter , Karmic Guide comes back into play, get back Reveillark.

From here you have the classic Reveillark + Karmic Guide loop that will get you infinite triggers of the creatures with 2 or less power in your graveyard.

• You can have infinite triggers of Fiend Hunter which you can use to exile the Karmic Guide every time and get infinite Karmic Guide triggers, which means you can get back Boonweaver Giant and trigger pattern any number of time and get all the creatures in your deck into play, triggers them an infinite number of time.
• You cannot always kill your opponent on the very turn you combo off, but you will leave them with no hand, no permanent and no graveyard and you being at infinite life with an infinitely large creature on the board, which should be good enough.

Remember the combo of Nim Deathmantle and Ashnod's Altar. Each sacrifice gives you two mana to fuel Nim Deathmantle. So for example with Eternal Witness equipped with Nim Deathmantle, and 4 mana you could sacrifice Eternal Witness to Ashnod's Altar and bring back him back twice netting you two cards from the graveyard. Have Panharmonicon in play and the sacrificing and re-equipping becomes free and you can repeat until your entire graveyard is in your hand. Another way to do it is with the enchantment Abzan Ascendancy in play which gives you a spirit for each non-token creature sacrificed.

How to assemble the combo.

• Remember to keep drawing cards through playing enchantments with one of the three enchantresses in play
• To get the combo going you need a Pattern of Rebirth target and a sacrifice outlet, preferably Ashnod's Altar
• Enlightened Tutor for Ashnod's Altar not for Dictate of Erebos , the Giant or the Rector usually finds Pattern of Rebirth
• Demonic Tutor or Diabolic Intent for Academy Rector, Boonweaver Giant, Karmic Guide or combo creature
• Pattern of Rebirth target is Boonweaver Giant or Karmic Guide or Reveillark
