Deck Description

Super-cheap standard sacrifice deck.

How to Play

This deck has lots of sac engines and things that benefit from creatures dying. It wins by gradually killing your opponent with Bubbling Cauldron + Festering Newt, Tymaret's first ability, burn spells, your opponent's own creatures, and perhaps attacking. Included cards:

Bubbling Cauldron allows you to sacrifice anything for one mana with a pretty good benefit. Its first ability helps you survive against RDW/Burn, while its second can potentially bring you opponent closer to losing.

Not only is Trading Post a sac engine, you can makes goats and then SACRIFICE A GOAT to bring back an artifact that you sacrificed to draw a card or discarded to gain 4 life.

I included Corpse Blockade mostly because it's a free sac engine. It can also make a decent blocker, or you could sacrifice it to something else.

Festering Newt makes a great turn 1 blocker, obviously combos with Bubbling Cauldron, and makes a decent thing to sacrifice even without using Cauldron.

Ogre Slumlord gives you more things to sacrifice after sacrificing things. Those rats also make nice blockers.

Spike Jester can deal some damage in the early game, and when it no longer becomes useful, it can be sacrificed.

Tenacious Dead can block or be sacrificed forever. Nuff said.

Tymaret is perfect for this deck. Sacrifice stuff to deal damage, and he's still a sac engine even if he's dead.

Lightning Strike is just a burn spell.

Act of Treason is a great card. Steal something from your opponent, hurt him with it, and then sacrifice it so he doesn't get it back, while getting benefits from the sacrifice.

Flames of the Firebrand is just a burn spell.

Traitorous Instinct for the same reason as Act of Treason. It just costs more and deals a little more damage.
