Historically speaking GY Sacrifice is one of the oldest archetypes in the game.
It has been through numerous iterations and seen quite a few nerfs over the years.
Having this in mind I felt compelled to revisit the list.
The newest addition to the crew is Amai Mapdealer.
With the help of draw cards like Iona's Smile, Flash Salmon, Doomgate, and Village Elder the deck is able to quickly access all of its relevant combo pieces, reinforcing the core synergies.
Tiki Caretaker help rounding up damages on cards like Windsolider and Bone Collector.
On top of the all-time imperative focus on positioning your creatures, timing has become a delicate additional layer. It is up to the player to judge the match accordingly and decide when to play out an early Soul Eater for tempo, when to hold Flash Salmon for the damage, and when to use it as draw.
Last Nightmare is a great reactive, defensive tool to recover from enemy exploitive tempo plays and lethal setups. It tends to get better the longer you are able to hold it.
Enjoy!
