Lagomos, Hand of Hatred

Lagomos, Hand of Hatred is a token generator that rewards you for killing creatures, whether your own or your opponents'. Every turn, you get a free 2/1 hasty Elemental that swings in and dies, which both pressures opponents and feeds your sacrifice outlets. The real payoff is the activated ability: once five or more creatures have died in a single turn, you can tutor any card from your library directly to hand. This turns Lagomos into a flexible toolbox engine that accelerates into powerful threats or combo pieces.

The deck wants to create a sacrifice-focused engine where you're constantly trading creatures for value. Early game, you play cheap token generators, sacrifice outlets, and creatures with death triggers to rack up the "creatures died" count. Cards that create multiple tokens or ping when creatures die are perfect here. Once you hit five deaths, you unlock the tutor and can find exactly what you need—whether that's a finisher, combo piece, or removal spell. By mid-game, you're generating tokens, drawing cards, and tutoring answers while grinding opponents down with evasive damage.

You win by either attacking with a growing army of tokens while tutoring threats, or by assembling a sacrifice-combo finish. The deck doesn't need to go infinite immediately; steady value and tutoring pressure is enough to take over most casual games.
