Overview:
A sacrifice-focused deck led by Savra, Queen of the Golgari that aims to control the board through forced sacrifices while generating value through death triggers and life manipulation.
Primer:
This deck operates on a sacrifice-based strategy, using Savra, Queen of the Golgari's abilities to force opponents to sacrifice their creatures while gaining incremental advantages. The deck includes numerous sacrifice outlets like Ashnod's Altar and Witch's Oven, combined with creatures that either want to die or generate value when other creatures die, such as Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat.
The strategy revolves around establishing a board state with recurring creatures or token generators, then using these as fodder for Savra's abilities while draining opponents through various death triggers. The deck can win through either attrition and life drain or by maintaining board control until it can attack with larger creatures like Mycoloth or Extractor Demon.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on having its commander in play to execute its primary strategy, making it vulnerable to removal. The mana base is notably light, which could lead to consistency issues in the early game. The deck also lacks sufficient card draw and tutors, making it difficult to find key pieces reliably. Graveyard hate can severely impact the deck's recursion-based strategies.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the casual range, with some powerful interactions but lacking the consistency and speed of higher-powered decks. While it can create strong board control situations, it typically takes several turns to set up its engine and doesn't have the explosive potential of higher-powered decks. The deck would struggle against focused decks (6.0) due to its slower setup and lack of consistency, but could hold its own against other casual decks. The interaction suite and sacrifice-based control elements prevent it from falling to lower power levels.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
