Judith’s Theater Discription

A note to the player

A common mistake that I see many aristocrat/sacrifice players do, is try to get a bunch of bodies and just pump them all into a single outlet, with no death triggers. The only value they get from that is the sacrifice outlets ability. So I made this deck to show all of you how strong a true sacrifice deck is. Meet Judith’s theater!

The process of Judith’s theater’s creation

This deck posed quite a challenge to me, because I usually run Mono black sacrifice and orzhov sacrifice. Rakdos? That was a new one. My first goal was to get cards that will trigger whenever a creature I control would die. The reason for this, is that They can be sacrificed (even though I wouldn’t sacrifice it unless it was desperate), but most importantly, I get lots of value every single time I sacrifice a permanent. Ok, think of this way. Most aristocrat players sacrifice something to a card like Viscera Seer, which is good in general. In this aristocrat deck though, we get to sacrifice a permanent to Viscera Seer, scry 1 from its ability, deal one and gain one from Blood Artist,Falkenrath Noble, Zulaport Cutthroat, etc. We also draw a card from Harvester of Souls, or Liliana, Dreadhorde General. The card that is sacrificed has its own death trigger, getting even more value!These cards I like to call “sackable” That’s not even all that this deck can do. I also stacked it with cards that sacrifice creatures for no mana! Cards that get me mana too, such as Phyrexian Altar and Ashnod's Altar! Last thing I added, was recursion. The recursion was for bringing back utility creatures that have been removed, getting back some sackables, and even sacrifice outlets if I need them.

The Game plan

Real quick message

This deck is all about getting creatures, death triggers, sacrificing sackables, and gaining MASSIVE VALUE! If you play this deck well enough, you might not even have to attack to win! It’s super competitive, and this is how I would play it.

The Beginning

On your first few turns, this is what we are trying to do. - Get lands, remember, fetchlands. Note to noobs: fetchlands can find ANY swamp or mountain, including cards like Blood Crypt. - Start getting utility creatures with abilities when creatures I control die. - sackables -Sacrifice outlets -the commander, Obviously

Late game

As you progress later into the game, start playing cards that just get so much card advantage, like Butcher of Malakir, Harvester of Souls, Liliana, Dreadhorde General, the commander,Judith, the Scourge Diva, and more. As you start going late game, start sacking the sackables, and then gain some value. If you get tokens, sacrifice them, then you’ll just get more triggers! Let’s move on to endgame

Endgame

At this point, drastically get creatures, sacrifice creatures, but make sure you have sufficient blockers. Get lots of damage on your opponents, and if you know you can win this way, full swing, get death triggers from instant speed sacrificing creatures, and getting death triggers.
