Strategy
Chevill is a patient hunter that turns your opponents' best threats into draw engines and life gain. Your game plan is to mark their creatures and planeswalkers with bounty counters, then profit whenever they die—whether that's from your removal spells, combat tricks, or just natural board wipes. Since Chevill has deathtouch, he's excellent at forcing unfavorable trades and softening up blockers, making it easier for your opponents to lose their own stuff.
The deck wants to pack efficient removal and evasion to take down bounty-marked permanents, while also running ways to force your opponents' creatures to die: Plague Winds effects, sacrifice outlets you can flash in, and combat damage from evasive creatures. You're not racing anyone down—you're grinding value by converting their threats into your resources. The life gain and card draw add up quickly, eventually letting you out-resource everyone at the table.
