I wanted to create a deck that revolved around sacrifice outlets and sacrifice mechanics. One of the main themes with the deck is to gain control of the opponents creature hit hard and then sacrifice them for value. Thraximundar as commanders enables the most fun colors in magic and works great with sacrifice, but the deck is designed to be strong even without the commander.

Win conditions

Help needed!

Help and suggestions are always welcome! I kind of want to put more zombie tribal into the deck, but this will probably make it go to far from the first idea of the deck (threaten and sacrifice). I didn't think it would be hard to fit in all the cards I want to play in a 100 card deck...

I have a lot of infinite mana combos, but not so many cards to dump all that mana in to, suggestions here would be great. More cards with threaten effects and sacrifice outlets that you can think of would be great too (some that I have considered is in the maybeboard).

Thank you for reading!
