Card Function

Enter/Leave the Battlefield Jenk

• Liliana's Specter keeps all opponents at a disadvantage with an ETB that can be triggered again through sacrificing/blocking
• Merchant of Secrets and Nimble Innovator , card draw with an ETB to be triggered again
• Archaeomancer and Izzet Chronarch won me a game, having been able to snag Cyclonic Rift back every other turn
• Liliana's Shade is pretty amazing for the deck with it's ramp ETB effect, and firebreathing
• Venser, Shaper Savant has a nice little ETB for slowing opponents down
• Vindictive Lich is kind of a backwards ETB and it'll cause a lot of havoc with multiple uses. This is a great sac target as soon as he can swing for counters.
• Puppeteer Clique would be perfect if you sac'd the creature instead of exiling it at the end step, but it's fun anyway.
• Reef Worm is a jenky little token generator i mostly thought would be fun in this deck.
• Flayer of the Hatebound A star of the deck. Essentially gives all creatures an ETB... the second time they ETB, but is still incredibly effective. And he has Undying, so as long as Marchesa, the Black Rose is out, he has to be exiled.
• Patron of the Vein does a lot for one card.
• Skeletal Vampire gets me some flying blockers/sac targets with its ETB
• Chasm Skulker can be sac'd for some blockers/sac targets, and gets big fast with other card draw outlets.
• Vela the Night-Clad gives all my creatures a leave the battlefield effect for some ship damage and makes them harder to block. Will be replaced though.
• Butcher of Malakir A star of the deck. The deck is based around your own creatures dying and coming back, your opponents' decks are probably not. So when this guys is triggering multiple times a turn and can trigger any turn, the board starts stacking in your favor real quick.

Sacrifice Jenk

• Viscera Seer Sac outlet. I like to scry.
• Apprentice Necromancer can sac himself multiple times to bring things back to the field. Kinda jenky, will probably replace.
• Gnawing Zombie Sac outlet. I don't like it, suggestions please.
• Nin, the Pain Artist Sac outlet with a lot of card draw potential.
• Torch Fiend can sac himself multiple times for artifact removal.
• Vampire Hexmage can sac herself to get rid of counters. Pretty situational, any suggestions?
• Bloodflow Connoisseur Sac outlet for counters. She fits in very well.
• Pawn of Ulamog nets you quite a bit of spare mana.
• Magmaw Sac outlet. He's alright.
• Anowon, the Ruin Sage Sac outlet for most creatures, and forces opponents to sac.
• Smothering Abomination Sac outlet with card draw every time you sac anything.
• Demonlord of Ashmouth Beefy sac outlet with Undying and Flying.
• Yahenni, Undying Partisan Sac outlet that generates it's own counters.
• Ashnod's Altar Sac outlet for mana. Lovely.

Other Jenk

• Drana, Liberator of Malakir spreads some counters around without having to trigger Dethrone.
• Thassa, God of the Sea is probably in all of my blue commander decks. I like to scry. I like having unblockable.
• Ob Nixilis, Unshackled really does the stuff. He'll get big, and keep tutor commanders and cards down
• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is almost perfect, but Marchesa is a Human Wizard. But everything else gets undying, so as long as Marchesa is out they pretty much have to be exiled
• Aetherborn Marauder Has Flying, Lifelink, and can have counters with it's ETB.
• Stalking Assassin is meh, will replace.
• Shadowmage Infiltrator for some card draw. Might replace.
• Kheru Mind-Eater creates some disadvantage and some jenky advantage.
• Dark Impostor exiles things to generate counters, and steals their activated abilities.
• Archetype of Aggression I don't like being trampled on. But i'll probably replace.
• Cloudfin Raptor 1 drop flyer that makes its own counters. Might replace.

The Sideboard is full of things I need to order, but the deck works well as is.
