Win Conditions

Discussion (0)

▸Overwhelming combat damage with an army of stolen creatures plus menace beats
▸Resource denial reducing opponents to topdecking until they can't function
▸Drain effects like Dictate of Erebos or a sacrifice loop grinding life totals down
▸Big stolen finishers or reanimated bombs closing out the game

Archetypes

Stax — Edicts, forced sacrifice, and discard lock opponents out of resources while you profit.
Aristocrats — Sacrifice payoffs like Dictate of Erebos pair with Tergrid to drain and steal simultaneously.
Reanimator — Mono-black recursion and the Lantern's discard let you fill and exploit graveyards for value.
Control — Mass discard and removal strip opponents to nothing while you accumulate stolen threats.

Menace

Whenever an opponent sacrifices a nontoken permanent or discards a permanent card, you may put that card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.

: Target player loses 3 life unless they sacrifice a nonland permanent of their choice or discard a card.

: Untap Tergrid's Lantern.

Force opponents to sacrifice and discard permanents, then steal everything they give up via Tergrid's static ability. You spend the early game ramping into mass discard and edict effects, then snowball an overwhelming board of your opponents' best creatures, lands, and artifacts. The game ends once you've stolen enough resources that nobody can fight back.

Turns symmetrical sacrifice and discard effects into one-sided card advantage and board dominance

Steals permanents at no extra cost, including bombs you'd never otherwise access

Mono-black gives consistent tutors, ramp, and recursion

The Lantern back side provides a built-in repeatable discard/sacrifice engine even from the command zone

Tergrid's ability does nothing against token sacrifice or instant/sorcery discard

Heavily hated out and frequently targeted with removal the moment she lands

Mono-black struggles with enchantment and noncreature permanent removal

Can be slow to set up and offers little if forced sacrifice/discard pieces are answered

Symmetrical sacrifice and discard that you break wide open with Tergrid stealing the discarded and sacrificed permanents.

Repeatable forced discard each upkeep that feeds Tergrid permanents turn after turn.

Devastating mass sacrifice of lands, creatures, and cards that hands you a huge pile of stolen permanents.

Mass targeted discard that, with Tergrid out, dumps an opponent's hand straight onto your battlefield.

Dictate of Erebos

Punishes opponents for losing creatures while chaining sacrifice triggers into Tergrid steals.

Reflections of Littjara

Doubles your edict and discard spells, doubling the permanents Tergrid yanks away.

Add fast mana like Dark Ritual, Sol Ring, and a sacrifice-light tutor package (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor) to land Tergrid early and protect her. Lean into repeatable forced-discard and edict engines plus doublers like Reflections of Littjara, and include protection such as Lightning Greaves or Imp's Mischief. To push toward cEDH, prioritize efficient stax pieces and fast wins over grindy value, and consider Liliana of the Veil and Cabal Coffers for explosive mana and continuous symmetrical discard.
