Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Golgari aristocrats deck built around sacrifice synergies with a heavy Squirrel tribal subtheme. Savra, Queen of the Golgari converts every black-creature sacrifice into a one-sided edict and every green-creature sacrifice into life gain, while the 99 is packed with token generators (Squirrel Nest, Deep Forest Hermit, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl), token multipliers (Parallel Lives, Academy Manufactor, Chatterfang, Squirrel General), and drain payoffs (Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, The Meathook Massacre). The primary win is grinding opponents out through repeated sacrifice triggers and drain, with Craterhoof Behemoth as an overrun finisher. Secondary wins include infinite loops with Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Ashnod's Altar + a token source + a drain piece. This is a value engine that wins through attrition and board presence rather than speed.
