Fain, the Broker

Fain, the Broker is a flexible sacrifice outlet that rewards you for converting resources into power. Your core gameplan revolves around creating a web of repeatable sacrifices—whether that's expendable creatures, tokens, or artifacts—and converting them into value. Each activation of Fain either pumps a creature with counters, generates Treasure ramps, or makes flying tokens, so you're essentially turning your "disposable" permanents into incremental advantages that compound over a game.

The deck wants to maximize sacrifice targets while building toward a game-winning threat. Token generators like Bitterblossom or Hangarback Walker feed Fain's appetite, while counter-synergy cards like Ozolith and hardened pump effects turn his +1/+1 distribution into a snowballing clock. His untap ability is the sweet spot—it lets you tap out multiple times a turn if you have the resources, turning him into a mana and card-advantage engine. You win by either swinging in with a massive creature loaded with counters, going wide with your Inkling tokens, or simply out-valuing your table through relentless resource generation.
