Overview:

A sacrifice-focused deck that leverages Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder to generate value through sacrificing creatures and Treasures, building towards explosive turns through damage multiplication and mass Treasure generation.

Primer:

The deck operates on multiple synergistic layers, primarily focusing on sacrifice mechanics and Treasure generation. The commander, Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder, serves as both a value engine and a potential finisher. The strategy involves building up resources through Treasure creation while accumulating +1/+1 counters on Evereth, then using various damage multipliers and sacrifice outlets to deal significant damage to opponents.

The deck's early game focuses on establishing value engines through cards like Pitiless Plunderer, Black Market Connections, and Professional Face-Breaker. The mid-game transitions into more aggressive plays, using cards like Ancient Copper Dragon and Goldspan Dragon to generate large amounts of Treasure tokens. The late game typically involves either winning through commander damage with a buffed Evereth or through massive damage output via sacrifice triggers and effects like Mayhem Devil and The Meathook Massacre.

Weaknesses:

• Heavily reliant on artifacts, making it vulnerable to mass artifact removal
• Graveyard hate can disrupt several recursion-based strategies
• Commander-dependent for optimal performance
• Can struggle against heavy control strategies that prevent sacrifice outlets

Most Important Cards:

1. Pitiless Plunderer
2. The Meathook Massacre
3. Phyrexian Altar
4. Academy Manufactor
5. Mayhem Devil
6. Black Market Connections
7. Skullclamp
8. The Ozolith
9. Marionette Master
10. Necropotence

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 6/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits comfortably in the focused-optimized range due to its consistent value generation and multiple paths to victory. While it lacks the explosive fast mana and turn 3-4 wins of higher-powered decks, it can consistently establish a strong board state by turn 5-6 and threaten wins shortly after. The inclusion of efficient interaction and value engines, combined with a cohesive strategy, places it above casual decks but below truly competitive builds.

Final power level rating: 6.5 - 7.0

The deck demonstrates strong synergies and a clear gameplan, with enough interaction and resilience to compete at focused tables. While it can generate significant value and threaten wins through multiple angles, it typically won't be closing out games before turn 6-7, keeping it from reaching higher power levels. The balance of interaction, value generation, and win conditions makes it a solid choice for optimized casual to focused competitive pods.
