Shessra, Death's Whisper

Shessra, Death's Whisper rewards you for creatures dying, which fits perfectly into a sacrifice-focused strategy. Your game plan is to create expendable creatures—through tokens, small utility dudes, or even sacrificing your own stuff—then watch them die to draw cards and grind value. The forcing ability on entry is a fun political tool to soften up opponents' boards or enable combat tricks, but the real engine is that end-step card draw: every dead creature is a fresh card in hand, and you're spending life like it's a resource, which Black and Green do gladly.

You'll want a critical mass of death triggers and cheap sacrifice outlets. Cards that make tokens (Bitterblossom, Enduring Renewal, Siege Rhino effects) fuel the machine, while aristocrat outlets like Viscera Seer or Altar of Dementia turn your extras into selection and mill. Reanimation pieces like Reassembling Skeleton or Lurrus of the Dream-Den give you repeatable death effects. You're playing a grindy midrange deck that outdraws opponents and builds inevitability—not a fast combo deck, but one that snowballs through card advantage and attrition.
