{"ops":[{"insert":"This is a Rakdos theft-and-sacrifice deck built around turning other people’s creatures into resources.

Most of the sacrifice outlets are there to turn those borrowed creatures into cards, mana, removal or other value instead of simply giving them back. The Beast itself is part of that engine.
