Core Mechanics
Sacrifice
- The main strategy: sacrificing Pest tokens or other created creatures triggers effects that grant the player card draw, life, and board value.
- Dina allows you to sacrifice creatures for life, and each sacrifice also draws you a card (once per turn).
Life Gain & Life Drain
- Many cards in the deck convert life gain into damage to opponents or into growth for your creatures.
- Pest tokens give 1 life when they die, encouraging chain‑sacrificing and triggering additional effects.
Pest Tokens
- A crucial source of value—the mass creation of these 1/1 tokens keeps your sacrifice engines running.
- The deck follows the logic: “the more you sacrifice, the stronger you become.”
