I was browsing EDHREC one day and came across this interesting commander, Bontu The Glorified. I loved his abilities so much that I decided to build around it. What I came up with was a really nice and fluid fusion between a "Aristocrats" style sacrifice theme mixed with a "Blood Artist" secondary theme.

The goal with this deck is to generate a few tokens and sacrifice them using Bontu's ability. I found 10 Blood Artists that drain your opponents' life whilst giving you a ton of life in the process. So we make tokens, kill them, and stack those Blood Artist triggers every time something dies. I've included plenty of ramp and card draw to keep the engine running.

This deck is a work in progress and I firmly believe that it will be a force to be reckoned with once it's been tested and tuned. Please feel free to comment and throw around some ideas that can make this deck truly nasty.

Thanks for checking it out! -Daarkvent
