Strategy
Baba Lysaga is a value engine that rewards you for sacrificing permanents with diverse card types. The core gameplan is simple: build a deck full of varied permanents (creatures, artifacts, enchantments, lands, planeswalkers) so that when you tap Baba and sacrifice three of them, you hit the three-card-type threshold and draw cards while draining your opponents. This turns your sacrifice outlets and utility permanents into repeatable card draw and life gain, which snowballs into dominance over time.
Your win condition is gradual but relentless: out-resource your opponents through repeated Baba activations, then finish with combat damage or commander damage once you've built a material advantage. The deck naturally wants cheap sacrifice outlets (like Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar) and a mix of token generators, mana dorks, and artifact/enchantment utility pieces. Land ramp (Cultivate, Kodama's Reach) and creature tokens serve double duty, fueling both the sacrifice engine and the board presence needed to close out the game.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey Doubling Season; use Earthcraft and Utopia Sprawl for ramp, and lean on free/cheap sacrifice outlets like Altar of Dementia instead of Ashnod's Altar.
