Deck overview

This is a Golgari sacrifice deck built around Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar, creature tutors, persist creatures, and death-trigger payoffs. The normal early plan is to ramp, cast Shadowheart, sacrifice expendable creatures, and turn their power into cards. That value helps assemble a later creature-combo finish. The strongest supported route uses Protean Hulk, a sacrifice outlet such as Viscera Seer, Putrid Goblin, and Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. With Master Chef in play, Putrid Goblin repeatedly receives a +1/+1 counter when persist returns it, canceling its -1/-1 counter. Each cycle creates another death trigger and drains every opponent. The finish is compact once assembled, but ordinary access to four separate roles is slow and exposed. The deck has useful creature removal and several tutors, but almost no protection, no stack interaction, and no sustained denial plan. Its expected game is value-oriented rather than competitive Commander speed.
