Description
{"ops":[{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"A Demon a Day"},{"insert":"\nHi. Welome to this build for "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Vito, Fanatic of Aclazotz"},{"insert":". This deck was inspired by the recent amount of cards that have a \"once per turn\" clause attached to their effects. The main strategy for this deck is to sacrifice three permanents on every player's turn to create a vampire demon and generate value. Drain effects will slowly lower the opponents' life totals, and then the vampire demons will be able to attack on our turn.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Early Turns"},{"insert":"\nThe early turns will involve a little bit of acceleration, but we want to get sacrifice fodder and a sacrifice outlet in place for Vito's arrival. You can wait until an engine is in place before playing the commander, since Vito will not do anything by himself. We can afford to block some early pressure since most of the creatures have on-death effects or only have ETB value; and Vito and other drain effects will gain life later.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Mid and Late Game"},{"insert":"\nVito only provides the payoff for the deck, so some key pieces need to be in place; mainly a way to reliably generate three permanents per turn (or enough permanents to last for the turn cycle) and a way to sacrifice them. If one of these pieces is missing or gets removed, you may need to consider ahead of time how many permanents you can sacrifice each turn for maximum benefit. With the exception of a few synergies, Vito's first trigger is inconsequential, so sacrificing only one permanent per turn without some other payoff is generally not worthwhile. Aim for at least two triggers per turn for the life-loss effect. You have the freedom to attack each player with a vampire demon to equally lower their life totals or send them all at the most problematic player.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Timing"},{"insert":"\nMost of the sacrifice actions can be taken freely on each player's end step except when a few cards are present like "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Bennie Bracks, Zoologist"},{"insert":". Cards that trigger in the end step will require actions performed earlier in the turn.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"How to Deal with Hate?"},{"insert":"\nThe deck will suffer from graveyard hate, but the strategy is not entirely dependent on the graveyard. The deck runs a tutor effect in "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Beseech the Mirror"},{"insert":" to find an answer for a specific problem. Cards that disable the sacrifice strategy like "},{"attributes":{"italic":true},"insert":"Yasharn, Implacable Earth"},{"insert":" will hurt the deck the most. You could send your demons towards the player you are expecting to have hate pieces.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Adjustments"},{"insert":"\nSince Vito is not an engine commander, he needs a lot of support pieces for this strategy to get going; therefor I opted for more redundant effects over interaction. There are many options in the Maybeboard section that include cards that could easily be swapped in or upgraded depending on accessibility.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Praise Aclazotz!"},{"insert":"\nThank you for reading and please let me know what you think.\n"}]}
