Legendary Creature — Human Artificer
Deathtouch Whenever Ashnod attacks, you may sacrifice another creature. If you do, create a tapped Powerstone token. {5}, Exile a creature card from your graveyard: Create a tapped 3/3 colorless Zombie artifact creature token.
“Sacrifice creatures for Powerstones and Zombie tokens—drain and swarm to victory.”
Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist is a sacrifice-focused commander that turns your creatures into valuable resources. Every attack, you can sacrifice a disposable creature to generate a Powerstone token, which ramps into bigger plays while fueling your graveyard. The real power comes from the second ability: exiling creatures from your graveyard to create 3/3 Zombie tokens, turning your self-mill and sacrifice outlets into a token army.
Your game plan is to fill the graveyard with cheap creatures and sacrifice fodder, then convert those resources into Powerstones for mana acceleration and Zombie tokens for board presence. You'll run a suite of death-trigger creatures (Blood Artist effects, Zulaport Cutthroat, etc.) to drain opponents while you sacrifice, creating a loop where each death chips away at enemy life totals. By mid-game, you'll have enough Powerstones and Zombies to close out the game through combat or accumulated drain damage.

Skip pricey tutors like Vampiric Tutor; use cheaper creatures like Viscera Seer and Cartel Aristocrat as free sacrifice outlets instead.
