Deck overview

This is a Golgari aristocrats deck helmed by Savra, Queen of the Golgari, built around the classic sacrifice-for-value engine. The primary plan is to generate a steady stream of tokens - from Bitterblossom, Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia, Ophiomancer, Scute Swarm, and Rampaging Baloths - then feed them to sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, and Ashnod's Altar to trigger drain effects from Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Vengeful Bloodwitch, and Syr Konrad, the Grim. Savra herself acts as a repeatable edict and life-gain engine, pairing with Dina, Soul Steeper to convert life gain into damage. The deck wins through incremental aristocrat drain, a Craterhoof Behemoth overrun, or Syr Konrad's mill-drain. A deep recursion suite (Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Reanimate, Victimize, Cauldron of Essence) keeps the engine running through disruption.
