Rayami Buffs (1)

• 1x Blade of the Bloodchief

I've toyed with the idea of building a Rayami, First of the Fallen deck since the card was released, and I think the time has finally come to take the leap. The idea here is pretty straightforward: sacrifice keyword creatures for value, and try to win through commander damage. There are a lot of sacrifice outlets and effects (including a Pod package) as well as a fairly robust removal suite to deal with opposing threats and benefit from their keywords, too.

I had every intention of incorporating a Mutate package as well, and while there are a few cards, it is still a bit lighter than I had hoped at first.

As of this initial build, the following keyword counts appear in the deck:

Flying 10, First Strike 2, Double Strike 0, Deathtouch 6, Haste 3, Hexproof 5, Indestructible 6, Lifelink 2, Menace 2, Protection 1, Reach 2, Trample 6, Vigilance 2.

Any obvious misses here? Thanks for the comments!
