Deck overview

Tom, Bert, and William is a Golgari sacrifice-value engine that converts high-power creatures into massive card advantage. The deck's primary plan is to deploy enormous beaters (7/6, 8/8, 11/10+), sacrifice them to the commander's activated ability for a burst of draws equal to their power, then repeatedly recur them from the graveyard. This draw-discard loop fuels alternate win conditions: Psychosis Crawler drains each opponent for every card drawn, Monument to Endurance delivers three damage to each opponent on every discard, and Doctor Doom, Unrivaled threatens to win if the library is ever emptied. Combat remains a strong secondary path, with trample from Garruk's Uprising and oversized creatures like Ghalta, Primal Hunger. The commander's self-reanimation upon death (returning as an artifact) provides a resilient engine that encourages aggressive sacrifice.
