*Shadowheart, Stompy Sacrificer* by user2664040

Format: Commander

Commander: Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar and Master Chef

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Golgari sacrifice/reanimator deck helmed by Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar with Master Chef as Background turns creature power directly into card advantage. The core loop is deploying high-power creatures like Rotting Regisaur, Yargle, Glutton of Urborg, and Daemogoth Titan, then sacrificing them to Shadowheart to draw a fistful of cards. Master Chef ensures every creature you control enters with an extra +1/+1 counter, making each draw bigger and fueling evolve triggers on Gyre Sage. The deck wins through explosive mana generation into Exsanguinate or Profane Command, or by assembling infinite mana via Gyre Sage + Umbral Mantle. Alternate wins include Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord sacrificing a colossal creature, or a massive Peer into the Abyss into Psychosis Crawler. With dense recursion from Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Eternal Witness, and Reanimate, the deck grinds through disruption and rebuilds efficiently.
