Hello everyone,

Can I get feedback on a \[\[Jon Irenicus, Shattered One\]\] deck I built?

[https://archidekt.com/decks/20319738/sac\_whack](https://archidekt.com/decks/20319738/sac_whack)

I haven't seen any other Jon decks like it, as most of what I found online Focus on Bad Gifts, or Small cheap evasive creatures, And I found both of those approaches pretty lackluster for consistent results. I tried building a Group Hug where I gave really strong cheap cards, but everyone just killed me first anyway because I was always a creature down a turn and the weakest board state.

So I decided to twist my deck a different way.

The only really unique about Jon is he makes creatures **Un-sacrificeable.** 

So what if we built a control deck around everyone sacrificing everything except the goaded creatures that draw us cards and while they kill our enemies, and every death drains our opponents and/or revives their creatures for us to use?

Because Jon giving away our own creatures makes the Dimir BU problem of an already bare board state so much worse by being an extra creature down every turn, I run tokens to Meatshield/gift for draw and boardwipe with self-sacrifice loops in \[\[Grave Pact\]\] / \[\[Dictate of Erebos\]\] with \[\[Braids, Arisen Nightmare\]\] / \[\[Priest of Forgotten Gods\]\].

Sacrifice bypasses Indestructible/ Hexproof/Shroud, Poisoning an opponents board with a bad gift like \[\[Plague Reaver\]\] / \[\[Desecration Elemental\]\] / \[\[Hellcarver Demon\]\] / \[\[Phyrexian Negator\]\], that themselves can't be sacrificed and need to attack your enemies potentially open board every turn with strong cheap creatures that draws us cards.

The deck also runs multiple recursive cards with \[\[Tergrid\]\]/ \[\[Meathook Massacre II\]\] / \[\[Gisa, Glorious Resurrector\]\] / \[\[Abyssal Harvester\]\] to bring back our dead and the dead of our opponents.

\[\[Blood Artist\]\] drain effects that trigger every time a creatures dies and they will die a lot, work as a secondary win con and keep us topped up to survive the natural hate that comes from playing this cancerous deck.

When you are down to the last opponent you can use \[\[Homeward Path\]\] to pull everything back and sweep them.

I have done 8-10 playtests with my Office's Lunchtime Pod, And so far and it has worked very well.  
Sac-Whack has multiple Varied win-cons that all synergize with each other, and the deck keeps running fine when Jon has been removed/isn't appropriate to play as the bad gift's/Tokens are mostly still very strong creatures.

I'd be open downgrade it to a B

racket 3 as it struggles to consistently win by turn 6 or remove some of the more salty cards (looking at you \[\[Tergrid\]\] / \[\[Rhystic study\]\]) so my colleagues have more fun with me on our lunch breaks.

But anyways that's the deck, Any Ideas, feedback or potentially great cards I have missed, or bad cards I have overvalued is really appreciated.
