Strategy
Sarevok wants to fill your graveyard while turning that pile of creatures into raw damage output. You're playing a midrange graveyard-focused strategy where every creature that hits the bin makes Sarevok's pump ability more threatening. The more creatures die—whether through sacrifice, mill, or combat—the bigger the pump gets, letting you turn a random creature into a one-shot kill machine.
Your gameplan revolves around self-mill effects, creature sacrifice outlets, and discard outlets to stock the graveyard early. Then you attack with a creature (often Sarevok himself) and watch it become a 10+ power beater out of nowhere. You can also use Sarevok's Specialize ability to give yourself extra flexibility—tutoring up situational creatures when needed. The deck wins through commander damage or creature combat damage once your graveyard is fat enough.
