Deck overview

Chatterfang, Squirrel General leads a token-sacrifice deck that converts creature deaths and token creation into mana, cards, life swings, and damage. The main compact finish uses Earthcraft and Squirrel Nest to create unlimited Squirrels, with Chatterfang doubling each creation event and Mirkwood Bats turning those events into lethal damage. The deck also functions as a midrange aristocrats strategy through Pitiless Plunderer, Viscera Seer, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Bastion of Remembrance. Its strongest ordinary draws use early mana creatures, Skullclamp, sacrifice outlets, and creature tutors. Its central weakness is access: creature tutors are plentiful, but the required enchantments are difficult to find together. The deck has meaningful removal and some protection, but it is not built to race or defend a compact combo consistently. Treat the infinite line as a high-ceiling route rather than the expected early outcome.
