Yasova Dragonclaw is one of my favorite commanders.

She is basically a creature with a conditional Threaten effect stapled to her. For , at the beginning of combat on your turn, she can gain control of a creature an opponent controls with power less than hers, untap it, and give it haste.

What this amounts to is a Temur deck with a Rakdos strategy: steal and sacrifice. The deck itself contains many good targets for the different sac outlets, but ideally you want to be sacrificing your opponents' creatures (preferably after attacking them with them).

Also, since generally you'll want to steal creatures with more than 3 power, there are a lot of ways to boost Yasova's power, and she comes with trample, which is nice. So commander damage might be a viable way to take someone out with this deck too. Steal their best blocker. Hit them with Yasova. Sacrifice the stolen creature. Repeat, if you can.

I don't doubt that this deck would "work" in terms of successfully stealing creatures and sacrificing them to ramp, draw cards, and so on, but I do wonder about wincons. Is stealing your opponents' creatures and sacrificing them for value good enough to win? Should the deck have more protection against opponents, since people generally don't like it when you steal their creatures? If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Suggestions welcome!
