Ayara, First of Locthwain
Ayara, First of Locthwain Commander Deck
Ayara, First of Locthwain is the engine of this black devotion and aristocrats deck, draining opponents whenever black creatures enter the battlefield while sacrificing them to generate card draw. The deck floods the board with expendable tokens and recursive creatures, using death triggers and sacrifice outlets to accumulate life loss through Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat effects, while Gray Merchant of Asphodel can close out games by leveraging a high devotion to black. The primary combo win involves Mirkwood Bats and Plague of Vermin, where the token-creation loop translates into near-infinite life loss for all opponents simultaneously.
