Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker

The goal of the deck is optimizing each and every creature using the commander I’ve chosen.

Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker is there to add value to all of your creatures and to each item that has an activated ability requiring sacrificing creatures.

Grim Haruspex , Harvester of Souls , and Smothering Abomination make for fantastic draw engines.

Sifter of Skulls , Blood Artist , and Zulaport Cutthroat adds value to sacrificing your non-token creatures

descrated tomb synergizes nicely with the creatures that reanimate, Wake the Dead , and Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker

Lightning Coils adds extra value to sacrificing creatures and makes a solid win con (also Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker can break it if a sac outlet exists Viscera Seer , Spawning Pit , Ashnod's Altar , etc.)

smokestacks and Contamination make for another wincon as these cards can easily lock all of your opponents out of the game
