Optimal sac outlet
Modern Deck Help forum

When I first started playing MTG back in the Stronghold days (yes that long ago) I was enamored by Crovax the Cursed so much that I tried relentlessly to build a deck around him. Breeding Pit was one of the few token generators at that time, and I was by far a good deck builder. Cards like Fallen Angel came along and improved the deck but it never achieved competitive status by today's standards.
With that being said, now there are some amazing sac outlets available. Modern Aristocrats come to mind;
And one of my all time favorites: Butcher of the Horde
So after seeing LSV's "aristocrat-less aristocrats deck" in the SOI Pro Tour I really wanted to revisit my love for the sac mechanic.
I think with the vast array of cards accessible in modern this could be viable once again.
Here is what I have so far. It is by no means complete, I am still in the r & d phase.Eyez gawna sak dis and dis and dis, oh you ded!
I am interested to see what other people think about the "best" sac outlet, and what are some good interactions.
Bloodghast for example. Probably one of the best sac interactions IMO.
Let me know what your thoughts are on this.
Cheers!
I think Viscera Seer is the most popular sac outlet in modern; it's not insanely powerful and it's very fragile, but it's just so cheap and the ability is useful to help smooth out draws.

Viscera Seer is for sure best of the best. Cartel Aristocrat, Falkenrath Aristocrat, and Varolz, the Scar-Stripped are also playable. I would suggest staying within Abzan colors though, Falkenrath Aristocrat is slow and likely not worth the slot at 4 CMC when you also have three playables below that CMC.
