Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder

Evereth, Viceroy of Plunder is a sacrifice-focused commander that rewards you for turning resources into power and damage. The core gameplan is to build up Evereth with +1/+1 counters by sacrificing creatures and artifacts—especially Treasures, which also give you lifelink to stay healthy. You'll stock your deck with token generators, Treasure makers, and sacrifice outlets to keep the counter train rolling. The payoff is huge: when Evereth eventually dies (or you choose to sacrifice it), you can pay {1}{B/R} to deal damage to all opponents equal to its power, effectively turning all those counters into a finisher.

This deck walks the line between midrange and combo. Early on, you're ramping with Treasures and small tokens, feeding them to Evereth to grow larger and accumulate life. Mid-game, you're creating a board of expendable permanents while Evereth becomes a threat. Late game, you're either swinging in for commander damage or setting up the death trigger—ideally when Evereth has grown large enough to burn out the table. The beauty is flexibility: if Evereth gets removed before the combo, you've still got a flying beater with scaling power, and you're not entirely dependent on one card.

Your supporting cast should include Treasure generators (Pirate's Prize, Goldspan Dragon), token makers (Bitterblossom, Viscera Seer-style sacrifice outlets), and sacrifice payoffs that trigger independently. Include some protection and reanimation so Evereth doesn't get stranded, and lean into the Black-Red sacrifice shell with cards that reward you for feeding creatures to the bin.
