Sacrifice Effects
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Oct. 15, 2018, 11:37 a.m. by meowforpirates
I am brainstorming a Breya EDH deck, and I'm looking for cards that will give more value to sacrificing creatures/artifacts.
I have a pretty decent base for making tokens and recurring artifacts, and I have more than a few cards that can flicker or copy, and I have a few steady sac outlets, but I want to add cards that will make sacrificing creatures/artifacts more useful if I can't use the typical Ashnod's Altar and Nim Deathmantle combo.
Any help with sac effect cards, or any other suggestions to make a fun and somewhat competitive deck to play with friends is greatly appreciated!
Check out Breya think tank for my brainstorming list.
Thanks!!
Trading Post, Goblin Welder
, Diabolic Intent, and Kuldotha Forgemaster are some nice options

Don't know much about artifact sac outlets but as far as creature sac outlets go there's Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder, Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Blood Bairn, Nantuko Husk, Spawning Pit, Bloodthrone Vampire, Vampiric Rites, Disciple of Griselbrand, Altar's Reap, and Bone Splinters, Hell's Caretaker, Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Phyrexian Plaguelord, and Whisper, Blood Liturgist off the top of my head. There's also Phyrexian Altar but it's not cheap. You can probably find more of these effects as well as artifact sac effects on gatherer.

Sorry for the double post but I forgot about Razaketh, the Foulblooded.

Thank you so much for the suggestions! landofMordor, that website is great, I've never heard of it before!
I was looking for more cards like Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact, so that if I'm sacrificing things for mana or to use Breya's effects (or whatever else), I would get even more value out of each sacrifice. I would probably be relying pretty heavily on having tokens to sacrifice, and a lot of the cards I've found say "Whenever you sacrifice a nontoken creature," or "Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies," or similar. I haven't been able to find many that say just creature (besides the two I mentioned), or that say artifact. Maybe I'm looking for something that doesn't exist?

Oops, I forget to mention Disciple of the Vault and Marionette Master.

@meowforpirates: My bad! I misunderstood what you were asking for. In that case how about Butcher of Malakir, Martyr's Bond, Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Falkenrath Noble? Is that closer to what you're looking for?

Try Scryfalling "-o:nontoken o:creature o:dies" or something like that.

A bit obscure and one use but a mini-blowout like Dictate/Pact is Urborg Justice
You can Isochron Scepter it though!

Try typing “-c:g o:sacrifice o:artifact f:edh” into Scryfall.com without quotes. You can narrow from there based on what you want to do, specifically. I’d specifically try adding “-o:~” to avoid artifacts like the Spellbomb cycle that self-sacrifice.
But I’d also recommend Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer, in particular, and some B artifact-sacrificers like Defiant Salvager and some Nim. (On mobile or I’d be more specific! Good luck!)
