Innocent Traveler

Creature — Human

At the beginning of your upkeep, any opponent may sacrifice a creature. If no one does, transform this.

Hey, you're welcome.

Cards that put creatures from your hand or library into your graveyard can help Olivia as Commander . You don't need to add a bunch of expensive price cards to make improvements. Staying on a low budget is perfectly fine to have a good Olivia tribal deck. What your deck mostly needs are cards that can enable Olivia to reanimate.

The advantage that Olivia has is haste meaning she can attack to reanimate the same turn she enters the battlefield (ETB) if you have a creature in your graveyard. You want to be able to take advantage of this by having creatures in your graveyard to reanimate before you want to cast Olivia.

"Loot" is a term in Magic that means draw then discard or discard then draw. This effect lets you discard creatures in your hand to draw cards and then reanimate those creatures with Olivia. You want to cast loot early in the game thus most of these types cards you play should be lower mana cost. 40 creatures is a lot of creatures even for tribal consider cutting a few of the lesser creatures for some cards that can get creatures into your graveyard?

Budget loot package to consider adding:

Anje Falkenrath is a legendary Vamp who can be a repeatable source of looting. Vile Entomber is not loot it's better and it's a creature who Olivia can reanimate. Entomber's effect is called "entomb" in Magic and it's where you search your library for a card and put that card right into your graveyard. Seize the Spoils and Unexpected Windfall are also ramp with treasures which is helpful to cast Olivia.

Cards to consider cutting for these:

My gods I forgot Carmilla! Thank you so much. I recently pulled a Innocent Traveler  Flip and she's going in! I think Blood Bairn could work quite well; thank you so much for reminding me that my favourite female vamp needs representation!

I just read Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu this October. I love Gothic Horror too and wow, this old classic just absolutely blew me away. It was very ahead of its time in so many aspects and has quickly solidified itself as one of my all-time favorites!

Anyways, if you are interested, I think the titular Carmilla is represented well in Blood Bairn with the card mechanically and flavorfully playing on themes of innocence which is intimately explored in the book. In fact, from my understanding, Sheridan Le Fanu's work seems to have been a main, pioneering force in establishing this now common aspect of vampire lore altogether!

Though I don't personally think the art matches up as well, the new Innocent Traveler  Flip could also represent Carmilla decently as it also encapsulates that additional layer of the horror felt when you slowly realize a trusted visitor is not what they appear to be...
