This is my take on a mid-power Juri deck. Even though the deck is strong and consistent, no fast mana and no infinite combos keep it fair. This deck currently has a 41% win rate against decks of similar power level with an average win turn of 8.

The main goal of the deck is to accrue tons of value through an aristocrats strategy while putting a ton of counters on your commander. Once you get Juri massive you can sacrifice him to deal a ton of direct damage.

The MVP of this deck is The Ozolith as it can store all the counters that were on your commander upon death, making it super easy to make Juri huge again the following turn. Juri triggers off ANYTHING being sacrificed so I tried to theme the deck around treasure tokens. Powerful on their own, providing Juri with counters while providing you with mana is too good to pass up.

This deck has a ton of moving pieces as it plays so many different cards that sacrifice so many different things but in particular I’d like to highlight a few. Kazuul's Fury   and Fling are great at instant speed since they do damage as well as Juri dying, basically doubling the damage. Revel in Riches is also an alternate win condition as it makes you a lot of treasures for your strategy but also has a “win the game” clause by simply making 10 treasures.

If you enjoy my take on Juri then leave an upvote. Make sure you comment with any questions or simply just to chat about the deck. I love feedback and would love to know what you think!

If nothing else, Make an Example is a shockingly good card in Rakdos as removal that dodges almost any form of protection, and it hits all opponents at once. Do or Die is also worth a look, but it never hits your opponent's best stuff with any reliability. Final sorcery that's really good in Rakdos is Phyrexian Purge, which is a very one-sided wipe that only costs 4 mana.

I feel repetitive at this point, but Rite of the Raging Storm is very much worth a look in Juri, it gives a sac every turn and it also just generates chaos. It also synergizes with great stuff like Mask of Griselbrand and Exquisite Blood, which also loves Citadel of Pain (and Protection Racket, which is like Phyrexian Arena did a giant bag of steroids as long as you're not on obvious combo).

I feel like Agitator Ant is a solid card here, Ogre Slumlord is also very good with lots of removal/sacrifice effects, Mayhem Devil is probably an auto-include unless I'm missing something, not sure if it's relevant, but Infernal Tribute can both let you sac any non-token and draw cards at the same time, it's like really wonky Necropotence Plus with your Commander, only you pay mana and permanents to draw cards and deal damage. Very weird but Whip of Erebos would let Juri (and everything else) have Lifelink, which can be handy, it can also bring something back if you want.

DreadKhan those are all excellent suggestions and i feel like i now need to rethink this whole deck since some of those synergies seem too good to pass up! Thank you for all the help!

Have you considered Furnace Celebration or Lyzolda, the Blood Witch?

Both fit your sacrifice theme.

Kcin Lyzolda seems really good thank you for the suggestion. I’ll have to get ahold of one and try her out!
