---

The deck is all about abusing ETB and Sacrifice Triggers. It does have a lot of synergy and also has a focused strategy, but it relies to much on the Commander. That being said, I could not resist putting this deck together. It is a blast to play.

The first part of the strategy is to get Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire out as soon as possible. To that end there is a lot of artifact ramp in the deck along with some ETB land ramp. From this point on it is all about out valuing your opponents with Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire's ability. Not only is this deck stacked with nothing but permanents to ensure we get something each attack, but it tries to get the most value as things are sacrificed.

All in all it is nothing but a bunch of shenanigans in this deck, but that is what I love to play. Give me an up-vote if you love the shenanigans also.

Feel free to leave any suggestions.
