A deck built around Piru. I looked at it and thought "that doesn't look very good." So I decided to build it. And building it let me know, "wait, no, this is actually kind of really good."

Basically, once you have Piru out, make as many tokens of it as possible, legendary or not. If they are legendary, then you sacrifice those tokens to get your damage off and hopefully one-sided boardwipe. If they're not legendary you're just getting another big creature into play.

Combined with the sacrifice subtheme in here, when a Piru dies, your opponent has to sacrifice a creature and deal with Piru dealing damage to the rest. With this, you should hopefully keep complete control of the battlefield.

If you manage to get Repercussion into play, then each of those creatures being dealt damage also damages your opponent, which should be helpful.

You have a few non-legendary creatures of your own, but it's only the ones like Stuffy Doll , Brash Taunter , and Boros Reckoner .

This deck also includes the classic combo of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , Kormus Bell , and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite .

Now getting up to the mana to actually cast Piru? I hadn't thought that far ahead.
