Korvold, Fae-Cursed King

Korvold is a sacrifice engine that rewards you for throwing away permanents. Every attack or entry triggers a sacrifice outlet, which then draws you a card and grows Korvold into an evasive threat. Your game plan is to build a toolbox of cheap, expendable permanents—tokens, mana dorks, and utility creatures—then turn them into card advantage and a growing flying threat. The deck generates a self-sustaining loop: sacrifice stuff, draw cards, cast more stuff, repeat. You're essentially turning dead-weight permanents into pure value.

Wins come either through Korvold dealing commander damage as a fat flying dragon, or by generating so much advantage that you bury opponents under card draw and threats. You'll pack redundant sacrifice outlets (like Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar) to trigger Korvold's ability even when he can't attack, ensuring you're always grinding ahead. The secondary gameplan involves aristocrat synergies—cards that care about sacrifice—turning your setup into explosive turns where a single sacrifice triggers multiple payoffs.
