Count Nefaria

Count Nefaria is a repeatable sacrifice engine wrapped in a flying body. Your core gameplan revolves around constantly sacrificing permanents to discount her casting cost, then redeploying her from your hand or graveyard turn after turn. Each sacrifice feeds into the next cast, creating a snowball effect where you're triggering sacrifice payoffs while building a flying threat that grows harder to deal with over time. You win by accumulating value through the sacrifice loop—draining opponents, creating tokens, or simply grinding out commander damage from a hexproof, evasive threat that keeps coming back.

Build around cheap sacrifice outlets and permanent sources that don't hurt to lose. Token generators, mana dorks, and expendable artifacts all fuel the engine. Your Plan enchantments synergize beautifully: Doom Reigns Supreme drains each sacrifice trigger, while other Plans rack up counters toward game-ending payoffs. The Marvel land suite (Villainous Hideout, Castle Doom) makes casting Nefaria as a Villain cheaper and creates disposable Doombots. Include draw engines and tutors to ensure you always have something to sacrifice and keep the loop spinning.
