Legendary Creature — Elf Shaman
Whenever you sacrifice a black creature, you may pay 2 life. If you do, each other player sacrifices a creature of their choice. Whenever you sacrifice a green creature, you may gain 2 life.
“Sacrifice creatures to force opponents to sac theirs, gaining value and life.”
Savra, Queen of the Golgari turns your sacrifices into a political nightmare for your opponents. Every time you sac a black creature, you can force each other player to sacrifice something too—turning your self-imposed losses into table-wide pain. Meanwhile, sacrificing green creatures nets you life gain, so you're essentially getting paid to do what you want to do anyway. The deck wants to load up on expendable creatures (especially ones with enter-the-battlefield effects or tokens) and sacrifice outlets, creating a grinding value engine where you're constantly making your opponents' boards worse while yours stays resilient.
Win conditions revolve around attrition: whittle down opponents' threats until you can attack for the last points of damage, or simply outlast everyone through superior board presence and life gain. You're not looking for a quick combo kill—you're building a controlling, sacrificial midrange shell that punishes greedy opponents and rewards you for playing your own game plan.
