Deck Flavour: Deadly Experiments
Deck Theme: Aristocrats

A multiplayer commander deck focused on sacrifice, recurring value and control built for 75% commander meta.

Recently cut cards are listed in the sideboard. Currently on the chopping block listed below if any.

Planned upgrades are listed in the sideboard. These are mainly cards I do not yet own but consider playing. Extra notes below if relevant.
- I would like a more Phyrexian flavour of this deck. No good ideas yet.

Key combos include:
- Two undying creatures
- One undying creature + one token producer like Pawn of Ulamog
- Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + any two creatures
- Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + any one creature + a token producer like Pawn of Ulamog
- Phyrexian Altar + token maker like Pawn of Ulamog + Reassembling Skeleton / Nether Traitor
- Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Ichor Rats + another creature
- Lotus Petal + Dark Ritual + discard Ulamog, The Infinite Gyre

Cards that have been intentionally avoided:

- I don't do off-color fetch lands because it breaks immersion for me.
- Animate Dead, Necromancy: Resurrecting a creature once does not work with the engine of this deck.
- Grave Titan + Nim Deathmantle: Already playing this in another deck where it's a better flavour match.
- Contamination: My current playgroup really dislikes stax strategies.
- Dreadhorde Invasion: Too slow and goes tall instead of wide which isn't a desired effect. Bitterblossom is more than enough.
