Rite of Consumption

Sorcery

As an additional cost to play Rite of Consumption, sacrifice a creature.

Rite of Consumption deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature's power to target player. You gain life equal to the damage dealt this way.

You've made an excellent tribal deck! I love the theme and the sheer quantity of foil cards. I have a few budget suggestions, but I don't know if they have foil options or not.

Demonic Tutor is very powerful, but also incredibly expensive. If you are looking for a budget alternative, you could try Beseech the Queen. It's more CMC expensive, but lets you search for anything once you have enough lands.

Rite of Consumption is another cheap "sac a creature to kill a creature" option like Bone Splinters.

20 of your 26 creatures are 3 CMC or below, so you could get great mileage out of an Unearth. You could also try Soul Stair Expedition for creature returns possibly? This deck seems like you would have several opportunities for Plunge into Darkness for baiting people with whether you are going to replace a rat with Ninjitsu or sac them after attacking.

Have fun with the rat collection.

I've always been around this idea, although I'd add an Arcbound Ravager without ifs and buts.

If the opponent swipes the table, you can always make him eat all the artifacts in response and shoot it with Fling (Which I would put 4x instead of Rite of Consumption better an instant effect than sorcery).

Hmmm maybe Rite of Consumption would be up your alley? Its bit slower than Fling being a sorcery and its locked to targeting a player but it also heals in a pinch also you know it's black.

This looks super fun, great job! You have quite a few spells that target your stuff, so why not give Season of Growth a shot? Also, this seems like a great deck to include Rite of Consumption. And finally, for an unusual pick, Ruxa, Patient Professor has some serious synergy with your commander.

To address this primer specifically:

"This is my Commander deck with a focus on utilizing the high power of the Commander to trigger effects that scale with a creature's power. The deck strategy revolves around four main themes:"

  • This is a good capture. The first sentence is a little unwieldy, but that's a style point rather than a content point.

Token Generation: The deck includes cards that can generate tokens based on the power of a creature. Examples include Fungal Sprouting and Ghoulcaller Gisa.

  • I count five cards that create tokens, and one of them doesn't create scaling tokens. In my opinion, four cards isn't a "main theme."

Card Draw: There are cards that allow the player to draw cards equal to a creature's power, such as Disciple of Bolas and Momentous Fall.

  • This is an okay comment. While it ties into the power scaling, the act of drawing isn't a main theme. It's card advantage, but it doesn't rely on drawing the way Queza, Augur of Agonies does.

Power/Toughness Manipulation: Some cards create creatures whose power and/or toughness are based on the power of another creature. For example, Miming Slime creates an ooze token with power and toughness equal to the power of the creature with the greatest power among creatures you control.

  • This comment is somewhat inaccurate. It gets the closest to the core "power matters" theme, but P/T manipulation as I interpret it isn't present. P/T isn't being manipulated, just tracked. The rest of this point is redundant with the first "main theme."

Life Gain/Loss: Some cards in the deck, such as Essence Harvest and Rite of Consumption, can cause a player to gain or lose life equal to a creature's power.

  • This is a fine capture, if somewhat underdeveloped.

This deck also has a good amount of recursion and removal cards, along with cheap ramp to ensure that the commander can come out as early as turn 4. For instance, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Hell's Caretaker can bring creatures back from the graveyard, and Beast Within and Sever the Bloodline can deal with problematic permanents on the opponent's side of the field. For ramp, the deck includes staples like Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, and a suite of mana dorks (Elvish Mystic, Llanowar Elves, Fyndhorn Elves) and land fetch cards (Sakura-Tribe Elder, Wayfarer's Bauble).

  • The formatting in this section is good, but Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's ability is misinterpreted. Again, the substance is kind of missing, basically saying "These are cards that are in this deck" without describing how or when to use them. What is a "problematic permanent" for this deck? What creatures would you want to recur?

Saw an update, wanted to check it out. One point I have is that in the description, you mention winning through commander damage with Soul's Fire, Rite of Consumption, etc. Commander damage is only combat damage; noncombat damage like that won't count. That's not a reason to take these cards out of the deck, since they're still great in this sort of deck. They're just not really commander damage.

Keep up the good work!

Dead_Blue_ I definitely think Apostle's Blessing is a strong choice, especially as a sideboard option against Chalice of the Void to swap out Disciple of the Vault, and it has the added benefit of being especially strong in the current multicolor-piled meta. I don't know that I quite understand Rite of Consumption, though. I get the idea behind suggesting it, but in most cases I'd much rather have a main-field body like Disciple of the Vault or Zulaport Cutthroat that acts as a latent combo piece until the last piece resolves than a sorcery-speed payoff.

I've added both to the maybeboard. I'll likely put Apostle's Blessing in the sideboard (possibly over the mana-intensive Murderous Rider).

Thank you for the suggestions!
