Legendary Creature — Vampire Knight
Sacrifice another creature or artifact: Put a +1/+1 counter on Bartolomé del Presidio.
“Sacrifice tokens to pump your Vampire Knight into a lethal threat.”
Bartolomé del Presidio is a repeatable sink that turns your expendable creatures and artifacts into raw power. Every sacrifice pumps him up, making him a growing threat that gets harder to block as the game progresses. The core gameplan is to pair him with cheap token generators (Bitterblossom, Monastery Mentor), sacrifice outlets, and aristocrat-style payoffs that reward you for putting creatures in the graveyard.
You'll fill the deck with ways to generate tokens—whether through sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer, death triggers, or token creators—then feed those tokens into Bartolomé to turn him into a legitimate commander damage clock. Ideally, you're getting value on the way out (draining opponents, drawing cards, making more tokens) before sacrificing. The deck wins by growing Bartolomé into an unblockable threat or simply swinging for lethal commander damage after several turns of pumping.

Skip expensive tutors and planeswalkers; use budget token makers like Bitterblossom, Bloodghast, and Reassembling Skeleton, then sub in Viscera Seer or Zulaport Cutthroat for paid sacrifice outlets.
