This deck's game plan is to sacrifice its lower-value creatures (Thraben Inspector, Carrier Thrall, Primal Druid and Filigree Familiar) to Eldritch Evolution and Angelic Purge, to generate value from Catacomb Sifter and Smothering Abomination, with Tireless Tracker included as a secondary value engine. The deck has a suite of one-of creatures as a toolbox package for Eldritch Evolution; no detailed breakdown of that yet as it's not exactly written in stone.

Sideboard features more creatures to grab with EE for different matchups, along with some extra removal and a pair of Distended Mindbenders for the matchups where EE is hot garbage, such as against Revolutionary Rebuff and/or Spell Queller decks.

Oh, and here's the reason for the deck's name.
