Sabin, Master Monk

Sabin, Master Monk is a high-impact tempo threat that rewards you for playing it aggressively and discarding cards. The double strike combined with blitz makes him a repeatable clock—you can cast him for cheap mana, swing twice in one turn, then sacrifice him and draw a card, all while getting the flexibility to recast him from your graveyard. The deck builds around maximizing those blitz triggers, filling your graveyard with value while applying consistent pressure.

Your gameplan is to play Sabin or similar blitz creatures as evasive threats, discard payoff cards that want to be in the bin, and generate tempo advantage by forcing your opponents to deal with a 4/3 double striker that immediately replaces itself. Think of it as a red tempo deck that uses the graveyard as a resource rather than viewing it as a loss. Cards that benefit from discarding—like madness creatures, flashback spells, or threshold synergies—turn each blitz cast into a genuine value engine.

You win by accumulating incremental damage through repeated blitz castings and discard synergies. Sabin's double strike means even a few successful attacks add up fast, especially when you're also recurring threats and generating card advantage from your discard outlet. This is a lean, aggressive deck that doesn't need a complex combo—just efficient creatures, discard synergies, and the tempo to finish opponents before they stabilize.
