Deck overview

This deck is a Golgari sacrifice and lands engine piloted by Baba Lysaga, Night Witch. The strategy leverages multi-type permanents—such as artifact lands, enchantment creatures, and animated manlands—to satisfy the commander's sacrifice requirement with minimal card investment. Once active, Baba Lysaga, Night Witch generates an overwhelming resource advantage by drawing three cards, gaining three life, and draining each opponent for three life every activation. Graveyard land recursion engines like Crucible of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator, and Six repeatedly retrieve sacrificed lands, creating an engine that outvalues opponents. Untappers such as Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler and Thousand-Year Elixir accelerate this flow by enabling multiple activations per turn cycle. The deck converts its card surplus into victory through aristocrat drain effects like Marionette Apprentice and wide token boards from Titania, Protector of Argoth and Field of the Dead, grinding out all three opponents by Turn 7.
