Legendary Creature — Zombie Assassin
Haste Whenever Thraximundar attacks, defending player sacrifices a creature of their choice. Whenever a player sacrifices a creature, you may put a +1/+1 counter on Thraximundar.
“Zombie assassin that grows by forcing sacrifices and drains opponents.”
Thraximundar is a aggressive threat that rewards forced sacrifice and grows into a massive evasive threat. Your gameplan is to attack early and often—the haste lets you pressure opponents immediately after casting, and each attack forces a sacrifice while pumping your commander with counters. You're playing a sacrifice-focused deck that triggers off opponent creatures dying, but Thraximundar himself is the engine: he forces the sacrifice, grows, and demands removal.
Build around creatures that synergize with sacrifice effects and reward you for opponents' creatures entering the graveyard. Cards like Impact Tremors, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Warstorm Surge turn those forced sacrifices into damage while your commander grows. You can also run instant-speed sacrifice outlets to force blocks, then sacrifice those creatures to drain damage or trigger additional effects. The deck sits in a sweet midrange-to-aggro spot: fast enough to threaten the table, but deep enough with synergies to grind through longer games.

Skip expensive tutors and mana rocks; lean on cheaper ramp like Cultivate, Rampant Growth, and talismans. Use budget aristocrat payoffs like Viscera Seer and Zulaport Cutthroat instead of pricey alternatives.
