The deck is looking to have Oni-Cult Anvil or Sokenzan Smelter out early so you start turning your trash into treasure. Make sure you are activating anvil on your turn if you are aiming to get the 1/1 Construct. Overall, I really liked this deck but it really needs Feed the Swarm to deal with opposing Meathook Massacres. Lolth is also great and another one I would play. Also Consider Immersturm Predator. I wasn't a fan of the Cemetery Gatekeeper and I think those slots can be used for something else. Overall, very powerful deck and definitely the best sacrifice deck I've played since Kamigawa came out!

That's it for today, thanks for reading/watching!
