Evin, Waterdeep Opportunist

What makes the design cohere is that every clause spends creatures for Treasure and then cashes Treasure back into a threat. The Ward asks a sacrifice, not mana, so it punishes removal in exactly the currency this deck is already hoarding, and the once-per-turn Treasure trigger fires whether the sacrifice is yours or an opponent's: any aristocrats board, any edict, any sacrifice outlet on either side becomes a tapped bauble in your column. Those baubles are not just fixing here; they are the pump. At +2/+0 apiece, three Treasures turn a 2/4 into an 8/4 with menace, a body that clocks fast and demands a chump most decks have already fed to the sacrifice engine. The self-reinforcing loop is deliberate: the Ward feeds the trigger feeds the pump, and menace makes the resulting threat awkward to gang-block. It sits in the mono-black sacrifice lineage that has always wanted a payoff for the creatures it was throwing away, but where earlier drain commanders converted deaths into life loss, this one converts them into ramp and a growing beater in the same package. The cap on the Treasure trigger, once each turn regardless of how many creatures die, is what keeps the engine from spiraling: you cannot chain a dozen sacrifices into a dozen artifacts, so it rewards a steady drip of fodder rather than a single explosive turn.
