How this commander wants to play

Crovax the Cursed is a self-scaling threat that rewards you for sacrificing creatures. He enters with four counters and grows whenever you feed him creatures at your upkeep—but he'll shrink if you skip the sacrifice. This creates a natural tension: you want a steady stream of fodder to feed him while keeping your board threats minimal, which means leaning into sacrifice outlets and token generators.

The gameplan is to build a sacrifice-focused deck with cheap creatures, tokens, and recurring bodies. You sacrifice creatures for value (drawing cards, making tokens, draining life) while simultaneously pumping Crovax into a flying beater. He becomes your finisher—a commander that grows exponentially while you're grinding through your sacrifice outlets for incremental advantages. The flying makes him evasive, and he only costs four mana, so you can rebuild quickly if he gets removed.
