Killian is a known aura commander and for good reason. The cost reduction for auras is significant and B/W was more than enough support to slam down some powerful auras.

But B/W are also good at two other things, buffing creatures and then sacrificing them. Luckily for us, there are several cards that like being sacrificed and then gives us value for how big they are. Here we have Killian Pumpocrats, using instants and sorceries to pump creatures and then sacrificing them to create massive value.

The game plan is to play Killian early and try to get some early swings in for some additional life gain, bonus points if you buff him before combat damage. Then sit back, ramp and wait for the perfect moment to make a massive creature and then sac it for a massive army with cards like Gisa, Murder Investigation or Nesting Shambler.
