Sacrifice Combo Help
Commander Deck Help forum

So, I'm building an EDH deck lead by Tana, the Bloodsower and Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper, and it's centered around creatures with devour, but also around such cards as Goblin Bombardment, Blood Rites, Stalking Vengeance, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest. So, I'm looking for cards in the same vein. Keep in mind, I don't want to construct a mere copy of every other sacrifice deck in my meta; and they all center on cards like Dictate of Erebos and every other card with a similar effect. I don't want a mono black sacrifice deck. I'm builiding Jund for a reason, and I am especially interested in the idea of burn as a combo with sacrifice. In fact, Goblin Bombardment won me a game with 3 opponents left. I was able to deal 65 damage with that card, spread over the course of 3 turns. My meta is pseudo competitive, definitely not casual, but infinite combos are a rare sight to behold. The reason I'm saying this is that I don't care how seemingly casual a card is, I'm open to suggestions! But let's start with the more competitive options if possible. BTW, the deck isn't on here yet. I wanna finalize it before I take time out of my busy schedule to list it on here. Also, cards like Korozda Guildmage and Stalking Vengeance that can make great use out of sacrificing my big guys, rather than the tokens, would be nice to implement as well. I especially like Korozda Guildmage because she keeps the sacrifice/burn engine going (assuming I also control a Kresh the Bloodbraided or a Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest).

First off kudos on branching out some and working to make something unique. My first thought though is there any chance I can persuade you to switch Reyhan, Last of the Abzan in for Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper? Hear me out, but I feel like you could make a brutal deck based on playing creatures that accumulate counters like Champion of Lambholt, Managorger Hydra, Taurean Mauler etc and using them to beef up Tana, the Bloodsower. In my head an ideal game without ramp/interaction might go Hardened Scales ->Goblin Bombardment ->Taurean Mauler or w/e ->Tana, the Bloodsower -> Reyhan, Last of the Abzan sac Taurean Mauler make Tana huge and swing... seems solid to me. Even if Tana, the Bloodsower gets a Swords to Plowshares you can transfer the counters to reyhan, which is awesome. You can use the saprolings for fungus like Utopia Mycon or making more counters via Scarland Thrinax. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents. I'm not a huge fan of Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper as it just seems a little too expensive mana wise.
