Agent of the Iron Throne

Agent of the Iron Throne is a passive value engine that turns your sacrifice outlets and creature deaths into incremental damage. You're looking to build a deck that naturally grinds through resources—playing creatures that want to die, using sacrifice outlets for card draw or tutoring, and watching opponents tick down. The beauty is that you don't need a specific commander; this Background works with any black-based legend, but it shines most with creatures that benefit from being sacrificed or dying repeatedly. You're aiming for a slower, grindy game where chip damage adds up while you execute your main gameplan, whether that's aristocrats synergy, reanimation loops, or creature-heavy strategies.

The deck functions in the midrange-to-combo space. Early game, you're setting up mana dorks and cheap creatures. Mid-game, you're activating sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer, Viscerattus, Blood Artist effects) and watching the damage clock tick. If you're running a reanimator shell or token producer as your commander, Agent amplifies every death into real pressure. Even incidental creature losses trigger it. By late game, opponents are usually at 10–15 life from seemingly "normal" plays, and a few final sacrifices seal the deal.
