MTG Salvation

I'm having trouble trying to update my BG sac deck with the rotation. It's been really frustrating to part with pretty much the backbone of the deck without Kaladesh adding new features or even something to make up for the rotation. Right now, Nantuko Husk and Liliana, Heretical Healerand Llanowar Wastes, along with everyone's hated Collected Company are gone from the deck.

Would cards like Voldaren Pariah and even Vampiric Rites,the emergers like Distended Mindbender and Foul Emissary along with Eldritch Evolution for some toolbox effects be enough of an update for this deck? Or should I just call it quits and move on to some other archetype?

I've been looking at the same problem. I think too many of our cards are rotating to be left with a competitive deck. All of the cards you mentioned are huge but even losing the humble Elvish Visionary has a big impact. I loved playing the deck but I think it might be time to put it away.

Yeah I brought a UB build to FNM a few weeks ago and did respectable for the field, it centered around the sac and drain mechanics. Ive lost too much and the format is just either too fast or full of sweepers.

Even if bant coco humans was "the best deck" they had plenty of games where they couldn't even profitably swing until T4-5. I feel like the format is maybe speeding up a bit again. Not like temur battlerage and [/c]become immense[/c] levels but it feel faster when games are building these insurmountable board states in testing.

The deck would change immensely and may never Become Immense. There is some synergy in BFZ and with emerge stuff.

Synergistic cards:

• Blisterpod
  
• Indulgent Aristocrat
  
• Carrion Thrall
  
• Primal Druid
  
• Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim
  
• Zulaport Cutthroat
  
• Relentless Dead
  
• Rot Shambler
  
• Unruly Mob
  
• Workshop Assistant
  
• Foul Emissary
  
• Catacomb Sifter
  
• Pious Evangel
  
• Emrakul's Evangel
  
• Extricator of Sin
  
• Vile Redeemer
  
• Matter Reshaper
  
• Harvest Hand
  
• Filigree Familiar
  
• Sifter of Skulls
  
• Smothering Abomination
  
• Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
  
• Eyeless Watcher
  
• Reaper of Flight Moonsilver
  
• Brood Butcher
  
• Voldaren Pariah
  
• Marionnette Master
  
• Demon of Dark Schemes
  
• Abundant Maw
  
• Distended Mindbender
  
• Elder Deep-Spawn
  
• Bone Splinters
  
• Vampiric Rites
  
• Eldritch Evolution
  
• Morbid Curiosity
  
• From Beyond
  
• Eliminate the Competition
  
• Westvale Abbey
  

Off the top of my head, Smothering Abomination seems like a fun engine, full of value draws.

Scions work with Matter Reshaper and Vile Redeemer.




Doesn't compete with the old deck, but it still runs a lot of 2-for-1s and synergy.

It might have to go more into artifacts with Marionette Master and/or Syndicate Trafficker. You can get infinite sac triggers for free with a Metalwork Colossus in your graveyard so there might be something possible

Yeah, Marionette Master + Metalwork Colossus is the best sacrifice/drain engine out there in the new format. The problem is that the Ever After combo deck probably does that better than an aristocrats-style deck could.

You could try a delirium subtheme with something like:
