Commander: Savra, Queen of the Golgari

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Savra, Queen of the Golgari pilots a classic Golgari aristocrats deck that converts creature deaths into life, cards, and opponent loss. The primary plan is to assemble a sacrifice outlet plus token producers, repeatedly sacrificing black-and-green Pests to trigger Savra's life gain, then translate that life gain into damage via Dina, Soul Steeper, Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Bastion of Remembrance. Savra also forces opponents to sacrifice creatures whenever a black creature is sacrificed, acting as repeatable removal. Secondary paths are recursion-based grind with Meren and Veinwitch Coven, and a wide token finish with Creakwood Liege, Blight Mound, and Tend the Pests. No hidden commander or double-faced commander is used; the list is built to play Savra as a sacrifice enabler.
