Tom, Bert, and William

Tom, Bert, and William is a recursive sacrifice engine that rewards you for throwing creatures at it. Your core gameplan is to build a sacrifice-focused deck where you're constantly feeding creatures into Tom's repeatable draw ability—pay one mana, sack a creature, draw cards equal to its power, then discard. This lets you dig for answers while filling your graveyard with fuel. The real payoff comes when Tom dies: it returns as an indestructible artifact, so you've got a persistent threat that's harder to remove and can still tap for mana or activate abilities.

Your win condition is grinding out value until you've assembled enough threats or combo pieces. You want token generators and sacrifice outlets so you're never short on fodder—things like Viscera Seer, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Pitiless Plunderer turn each sacrifice into incremental advantage. Altars and aristocrat payoffs turn your graveyard into a resource engine. Tom's recursion means you'll always have a threat on the table, so opponents can't just remove your commander and breathe easy.
