Ziatora, the Incinerator

Ziatora is all about turning your creatures into damage and mana. Every end step, you sacrifice a creature to deal damage equal to its power, then generate three Treasure tokens—those shiny mana rocks that fuel your next turn. The core gameplan is to build a token-generating machine: fill the board with expendable creatures (tokens, small dudes, whatever), sacrifice them repeatedly for value, and ping your opponents down while ramping into bigger plays. Once you have the mana, you can cast more threats, create more tokens, and keep the sacrifice-and-drain engine spinning.

Your deck wants to prioritize effects that make lots of creatures or creatures with high power. Aristocrat synergies are natural here: death triggers, sacrifice outlets, and payoff cards that reward you for sending creatures to the graveyard or sacrificing them. The beauty of Ziatora is that you're essentially converting a creature into a Treasure and 1+ damage, so even your "bad" draws become value. You win by grinding your opponents' life totals down while building an unbeatable board presence, then finishing with commander damage or a flurry of spells fueled by Treasure tokens.
