Azlask, the Swelling Scourge

Azlask is all about converting colorless creature deaths into experience counters, then converting those counters into a massive power boost. You're playing a recursive sacrifice deck where Eldrazi Scions, Spawns, and other colorless creatures die (either by your own hand or through combat), each death adding a counter to Azlask. Once you've stockpiled enough counters, you untap and activate Azlask's five-color ability to turn your board into an unstoppable threat, with your token creatures gaining indestructible and annihilator to boot.

The deck wins by looping creature deaths into experience counters, then converting those counters into a lethal combat swing. You'll want sacrifice outlets, token generators (especially Eldrazi tokens), and effects that create colorless creatures naturally. Cards like Ashnod's Altar, Viscera Seer, and Ulamog's Awakening let you sacrifice your tokens on demand while generating mana or cards. Once Azlask has accumulated 5+ experience counters, a single activation can turn your Scions and Spawns into indestructible threats that deal damage through annihilator, pressuring opponents to sacrifice their own permanents while you swing for lethal.

This is a midrange-to-aggro deck that rewards patient buildups and explosive finishes. You're not racing early; you're grinding value through death triggers until you can burst for a win.
