Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This deck is a Golgari aristocrats build helmed by Savra, Queen of the Golgari, whose activated triggers (sacrifice a black creature to force each other opponent's to sacrifice, sacrifice a green creature to gain life) let you shape the board at every opponent's curve while fueling life drain. The primary plan is to churn out token creatures-via Bitterblossom, Creakwood Liege, Ophiomancer, and the Chatterfang, Squirrel General // Doubling Season // Parallel Lives trifecta-and cannibalize them through sacrifice outlets like Phyrexian Altar, Braids, Arisen Nightmare, and Dina, Essence Brewer. Each death triggers multiple bleeding effects: Zulaport Cutthroat, Poison-Tip Archer, Mirkwood Bats, Ayara, First of Locthwain, and Moldervine Reclamation. The deck wins by grinding two life totals to zero through repeated drains, with Sanguine Bond and Marv, the Soul Drinker amplifying your gains into perpetual enemy losses.
