---

The deck is primarily powered by sacrifice effects which either allow the deck to steal other people's creatures, boost the creatures we already have, or other utility options.

The primary win condition in the deck is to get Thraximundar to 10/10, put some form of infect onto him, and then Chandra's Ignition. This also works with any other creature getting to 10 power before igniting them.

The secondary/alternate win condition is much more circumstantial as it requires a lot of components to work. This involves Walking Ballista getting 10 +1/+1 counters and then granting it infect so that when it launches its +1s to deal damage to a player, they count towards infect. This is of course if you don't have Chandra's Ignition. Thraximundar can aid in loading the ballista by using Fate Transfer to transfer the +1/+1s that he's been building himself onto it.

A third win condition comes from simply commander damage, or through swinging face and infect with Thraximundar or another creature we can make unblockable through either its own effect or Rogue Passage.

A fourth is to get Exquisite Blood onto the field along with Sanguine Bond, and then triggering the chain reaction.

A fith win condition is just beat-face with loads of zombies or big creatures that we boost from +1/+1s.

And finally the jankiest and least reliable win condition in the deck is Darksteel Reactor. It just sits around and builds counters. Contagion Engine is in the deck as well to help accelerate it, but to also help build +1/+1 counters and infect counters.
