Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Lord Dregg is a token-generating engine that rewards you for playing a sacrifice-heavy gameplan. Every time a permanent leaves the battlefield under your control, you're creating flying Insect tokens at the end of step — this happens naturally through sacrifice outlets, temporary effects, and flicker strategies. The tokens feed right back into Dregg's activated ability, letting you sacrifice them for card draw and fueling the whole engine cycle again.

The deck wants to create a loop: sacrifice creatures or artifacts, make tokens, draw cards, repeat. You're turning incremental resource generation into a card advantage machine. Win conditions come naturally through token swarms dealing flying damage, but the real power is the consistent card draw that lets you find threats and answers. This plays like a grindy aristocrats deck that pressures opponents while filling your hand.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive tutors and planeswalkers; use "Congregation at Dawn" and "Diabolic Tutor" as budget alternatives, and rely on free sacrifice outlets like "Viscera Seer" and "Altar of Dementia" over pricey "Ashnod's Altar."
