This deck is built around Kethek, Crucible Goliath as commander, but hes jus value engine

The core themes are sacrifice, reanimation, mill, and theft, all working together in a carefully constructed symphony of chaos.

One of the central power plays revolves around Rakdos, the Muscle. Once you've stolen or reanimated your opponents’ creatures, Rakdos lets you sacrifice them for value, then threatens to exile their library over time.

Graywater’s Fixer may not look like much at first glance, but in this deck, it’s a quiet powerhouse, especially when paired with Rakdos, the Muscle. He gos hard with both Coercive Recruiter and hieves' Guild Enforcer.

Servant of the Stinger and Goblin Engineer help dig for Vat of Rebirth, a card that synergizes perfectly with all the sacrificing and milling happening. Vat becomes a consistent value engine, letting you bring back creatures that died—or ones you've discarded on purpose.

To top it all off, Shifting Shadow adds chaos and unpredictability. On the surface, it’s risky, but in this deck it becomes a hilarious value card, often flipping into something even more dangerous.
