Strategy
Killmonger is a repeatable creature sacrifice engine that punishes your opponents while fueling your graveyard. Every time you sacrifice another creature, you destroy a nonland permanent—perfect for removing blockers, planeswalkers, or annoying artifacts. The more creatures hit your graveyard, the bigger Killmonger gets, turning him into a legitimate threat. Your game plan is to build a web of sacrifice outlets and creature tokens, sacrificing them for value while Killmonger grows. You'll lean on creatures that go in the graveyard anyway (like connive creatures or creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects) so nothing feels wasted.
The deck wins through a combination of Killmonger's growing power and incremental destruction of your opponents' resources. You'll gradually shrink their board while building an army of your own tokens or creatures. The Villain tribal synergies introduced in Marvel Super Heroes give you natural recursion and sacrifice fodder, while Plans like Doom Reigns Supreme turn every Villain death into life loss. If you can chain sacrifices together, you'll quickly overwhelm the table through pure tempo and attrition.
