General Traag, Heart of Stone

General Traag is a straightforward aggressive commander that rewards you for sacrificing artifacts. The core gameplan is to build a deck full of cheap artifact tokens and small artifacts that generate value on sacrifice, then use Traag as both an aggressive threat and a sacrifice outlet that doubles as creature removal. You're essentially playing a red-based sacrifice deck that turns your artifact fodder into incremental damage while swinging in for combat damage.

The deck wins by chipping away at opponents' life totals through a combination of Traag's triggered damage, combat damage from your creatures, and the chip damage from sacrifice effects and artifact synergies. You'll include cards that create artifact tokens (like Golem tokens or Thopters), sacrifice outlets that reward you further, and payoff cards that trigger whenever you sacrifice artifacts. This creates a self-sustaining loop where each sacrifice fuels the next threat.
