Strategy
Kor, Cause of Vengeance is a Mardu sacrifice-aggression engine that rewards you for attacking and making tough choices about which creatures to send to the bin. Each combat phase, you can sacrifice a creature to draw a card and pump your Klingons and Warriors, turning a tempo loss into card advantage and a devastating board buff. This creates a snowball effect: attack, sacrifice a token or expendable dork, draw into more threats, and swing harder next turn. The deck thrives on a steady stream of cheap creatures—especially Klingon Warriors from tokens—that are happy to die for value.
Your gameplan pivots between two modes: early aggression with Klingon tokens and sacrifice outlets, or midrange value where you're drawing cards every combat while your team gets progressively larger. Kor naturally slots into the Battlefront mechanic (attack multiple opponents to unlock goad effects and payoffs), and synergizes beautifully with any creature-generating engine. You're not trying to go infinite; you're trying to turn bodies into cards and power while your commander smashes face. The deck closes out via combat damage, often with a freshly pumped board after a well-timed sacrifice.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Start with budget token generators like Impact Tremors, Haste lords (Metallic Mimic), and free sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer, Cartel Aristocrat) instead of pricey planeswalkers; Kor's draw engine means you don't need expensive card advantage.
