Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Korvold, Fae-Cursed King sacrifice-value deck built around grinding incremental advantage through repeated permanent sacrifice. The primary plan involves deploying a sacrifice outlet (Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder), generating fodder via token makers (Awakening Zone, Prossh, Skyraider of Kher, Impulsive Pilferer), and converting each death into card draw (Korvold, Smothering Abomination, The Gitrog Monster) and life drain (Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Mayhem Devil). The deck lacks a compact infinite combo but leverages land sacrifice synergies with The Gitrog Monster and Ramunap Excavator to generate additional value. Victory comes through incremental life loss from repeated drain triggers, often finishing with a single turn of mass sacrifice using Pitiless Plunderer or Ruthless Technomancer to amass treasures and trigger multiple payoffs simultaneously.
