A sacrifice-driven burn/value deck. The plan is to turn lands and creatures into resources, grind value with recursion, and finish games with burn. Think of it as RG Midrange meets Burn.
Key Creatures
Harvest Wurm – Recurs lands and becomes a resilient threat.
Young Wolf – Sticky sac target, perfect fodder for outlets.
Bayou Groff – Cheap 5/4 payoff for sacrificing small creatures.
Yavimaya Elder – Land tutor, blocker, and ideal sac outlet.
Burning-Tree Emissary – Smooths mana and tempo while applying pressure.
Core Synergies
Land in Graveyard: Rubblebelt Maverick, Shard Volley, Faithless Looting.
Burn Loadout: Lightning Bolt, Rift Bolt, Skewer the Critics, Shard Volley, Improvised Club.
Sideboard Options
Bone Shards – Removal and sacrifice synergy.
Ancient Grudge – Artifact/graveyard hate.
Electrickery – Anti-swarm.
Pyroblast – Blue hate.
Gnaw to the Bone - help against burn.
Game Plan
Early: Set up yard with Looting, Maverick, maybe Shard Volley. Suspend Rift Bolt.
Mid: Deploy Bayou Groff/Harvest Wurm. Use sac outlets to clear blockers.
Late: Use land recursion Wurms and Wolves to survive, cash in lands/creatures, finish with burn.
Meta Position
Strong vs. Blue Midrange/Control – Correct sequencing + Pyroblast.
Strong vs. Tron – Pressure + efficient removal.
Weak vs. Aggro Swarms – Needs Electrickery.
Weak vs. Graveyard Hate – Burn pivot helps, but Relic/Crypt are tough, side in Ancient Grudge in anticipation.
