Strategy
General Chang is a lean, mean creature-sacrifice engine that rewards you for building around Klingons and other expendable creatures. The core plan is simple: play cheap Klingons and supporting creatures, then sacrifice them to pump your remaining Klingons into lethal damage. Since Chang costs just one black mana, you can cast him early and immediately start turning your board into a growing threat. The deck leans into aristocrat synergies—cards that trigger when creatures die—to generate extra value while you're pumping your warriors.
You'll want a critical mass of Klingons (like Klingon Warrior tokens from cards like Klingon Disruptor or similar themed creatures) alongside sacrifice outlets and aristocrat payoffs. Think of it like a mini-combo: each creature you sac to General Chang becomes +1/+1 spread across your team, so a handful of cheap creatures quickly turn into an unblockable army. The backup plan is grinding value through death triggers and incremental board pressure, making this a flexible midrange deck that can shift between aggro and control depending on the table.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors and fast mana; replace them with budget creatures like Bloodghast, Gravecrawler, and Zulaport Cutthroat that are naturally cheap but create repeatable sacrifice value.
