Strategy

The Ayara, First of Locthwain Commander deck revolves around sacrificing creatures and generating value from them. The deck focuses on creating a loop of sacrificing and reanimating creatures to drain opponents' life totals and generate card advantage. The good points of the deck include its ability to generate a lot of value from sacrificing creatures, draining opponents' life totals with cards like Zulaport Cutthroat and Ayara, and creating a powerful board presence through cards like Gravecrawler and Reassembling Skeleton. The deck also has strong synergies with cards like Bontu's Monument and Pitiless Plunderer, which can generate additional value from sacrificing creatures. However, the deck's reliance on sacrificing creatures can leave it vulnerable to board wipes and removal spells. It can also struggle against decks that can prevent creatures from entering the battlefield or that have ways to disrupt the sacrifice loop. Overall, the deck's strategy involves sacrificing creatures to generate value and drain opponents' life totals, while also maintaining a strong board presence through reanimation effects. It can be a powerful and fun deck to pilot, but requires careful planning and timing to maximize its potential.
