Opponents Creature Sacrifice Help?
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Feb. 26, 2017, 7:01 a.m. by nibsey
I have Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos in my Mikaeus's Big Black Sac Unleashed! deck, but would really like similar cards added to improve draw odds, if they exist?
Your help would be very appreciated?
Many thanks, Nibsey
Thanks DeathChant17
Butcher of Malakir is exactly what I am looking for.
I hadn't considered Grave Betrayal but i really like the twist it adds to the deck.

I get the intent of the deck is to beef up creatures by sacking others and giving them persist and having grave return. But you could do with less creatures that buff from sac'd creatures and add some token generation in there. Stuff like Bitterblossom, Grave Titan, and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet.
You can also use Blood Artist and Falkenrath Noble for life gain and pain as stuff dies.
Notable combo with Bitterblossom is Contamination to lock out your opponents' mana. Also the good old Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond combo for the win.
Just my thoughts.

DeathChant17 thanks again.
Blood Artist and Falkenrath Noble both added to sideboard until I decide exactly what to drop.

If you're trying to force them to sac a creature Merciless Executioner and Fleshbag Marauder do a nice job of it and combo well with those enchantments.

If you want to increase draw odds, why not just increase draw ability? Adding cards like Bloodgift Demon, Phyrexian Arena and Sidisi, Undead Vizier are all good ways to help you draw into the sac effect without over saturating your deck with them.

Thanks enpc and CChaos for your suggestions.
It That Betrays has been added and others added to maybe?

Artisan of Kozilek perhaps? Works nicely with It That Betrays.

Also Archfiend of Depravity or Reaper from the Abyss could work.

I do like Archfiend of Depravity
Thanks for your suggestions Delta-117

Are you looking for more Grave Pact type effects? You have that and Dictate of Erebos but not Butcher of Malakir. Also, Grave Betrayal will give you another Lim-Dul the Necromancer effect.
