Version 5. Optimized for speed and multiple win conditions.

Win Conditions

I tried to speed up the win speed of the deck but didn't want to go Food Chain route. Win conditions are:

1. A free sacrifice outlet with Murderous Redcap and Melira, Sylvok Outcast.

2. Chandra's Ignition if life totals are low enough.

3. Straight combat damage.

Updates

It wasn't necessary to recast Squee, the Immortal from exile due to Food Chain not being in the deck, so I swapped him out for Reassembling Skeleton.

Bloodghast added for reoccurring value off of land drops.

Phyrexian Tower added instead of High Market since the access to double black mana is more flexible in use.

Additional Considerations

Assessing value of abilities on creatures as opposed to a fleeting effect. Nature's Lore and Wood Elves offer the same effect but one offers a body to sacrifice at the cost of an additional colourless mana.

Same for Embereth Shieldbreaker and Ingot Chewer. Speed of interaction can be optimized by the spell/evoke effects at the expense of having a body to block with or sacrifice. Embereth Shieldbreaker and Ingot Chewer can be further argued down into Nature's Claim for the same effect with greater flexibility in targets.

+1/+1 counter effects can be trimmed out to free up slots for streamlining other pursuits. But Korvold maintained as a physical presence to kill through commander damage is a yet another win condition. Red Elemental Blast or Pyroblast are good replacements.

I like Murderous Redcap over the Food Chain combo as it needs one fewer pieces to execute so it felt more reliable.
