Evin, Waterdeep Opportunist

Evin, Waterdeep Opportunist is a sneaky commander that turns your own creature sacrifices into a resource engine. The core plan is to sacrifice creatures—whether your own tokens or utility creatures—to fuel Evin's ward, generate Treasure tokens, and pump Evin into an evasive threat with menace. You'll lean into black's natural sacrifice outlets and token generators, creating a loop where each creature death becomes ramp and a clock. Since Evin triggers once per turn whenever *any* player sacrifices creatures, you'll also benefit from opponents' sacrifice effects, turning their strategies into your advantage.

The deck wins through commander damage by growing Evin with treasures and swinging with menace, often protecting him with his ward ability. You can support this with cards that generate expendable tokens (especially treasures and creature tokens), sacrifice outlets that give you value, and small payoffs that reward the sacrifice theme. Think of it as a tempo-control strategy with a growing threat—Evin gets bigger, harder to block, and harder to kill while you build mana and resources on the side.
