Deck overview

Helmed by Dina, Essence Brewer, this is a Golgari sacrifice-value deck built around turning creature deaths into cards, life, and table-wide drain. Dina is a standing sacrifice outlet that converts the biggest creature on board into life and +1/+1 counters while drawing a card once per turn, and she only costs {1}{B}{G}, making the setup tax trivial. The deck floods the board with tokens from Chatterfang, Squirrel General, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Deranged Hermit, Hornet Queen, and Pest Infestation, then runs them through Viscera Seer, Phyrexian Tower, Greater Good, and Diabolic Intent. Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat chip away on every death, while lifegain is weaponized by the "hidden commander" Dina, Soul Steeper alongside Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose and Enduring Tenacity. Finishers include a Craterhoof Behemoth overrun, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord flinging Yargle and Multani, a massive Exsanguinate, or the exponential squirrel loop. A deep recursion suite (Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Moseo, Vein's New Dean, Ruthless Technomancer) rebuilds after wipes.
