BuildCard details

The Commander

Henry Wu and other Human creatures you control have exploit. (When a creature with exploit enters, you may sacrifice a creature.)

Whenever a creature you control exploits a non-Human creature, draw a card. If the exploited creature had power 3 or greater, create a Treasure token.

Guide

Gameplan

Henry Wu turns every Human you play into an exploit engine: enter the battlefield, sacrifice a non-Human creature, and draw a card (plus a Treasure if it was power 3+). You flood the board with cheap Humans and disposable non-Human bodies, churning through sacrifice loops for card advantage, ramp, and value triggers, then convert that engine into a combo finish or grindy aristocrats kill.

Strengths

  • Relentless card advantage—every Human ETB refills your hand by eating a non-Human creature
  • Built-in ramp via Treasure tokens off larger sacrifice fodder, smoothing into big plays
  • Sultai colors give access to the best tutors, removal, recursion, and combo pieces
  • Loves token makers and recursive creatures, enabling near-infinite value loops
  • Resilient: even if Henry is removed, the deck still functions as a sacrifice-value shell

Weaknesses

  • Henry only enables draw/Treasure when exploiting NON-Human creatures, so a Human-heavy board can stall the payoff
  • Heavily reliant on the commander being on the battlefield for the draw/Treasure engine
  • Slower to set up than dedicated combo decks; needs a critical mass of fodder and Humans
  • Vulnerable to graveyard hate that shuts down recursion loops
  • Board wipes can erase both your Humans and your fodder simultaneously

Key Cards

  • Gravecrawler — As a recurring non-Human you can recast and feed to exploit every turn for card draw.
  • Pitiless Plunderer — Each sacrificed creature makes a Treasure, fueling explosive recast-and-exploit chains.
  • Reassembling Skeleton — A repeatable non-Human exploit target that refills the board for value each turn.
  • Champion of the Perished — A Human that snowballs with every creature death your exploit engine causes.
  • Grist, the Hunger Tide — Generates an endless stream of Insect non-Humans to exploit for cards and Treasures.
  • Blood Artist — Turns your sacrifice loops into incremental damage, closing games through any board state.
  • Body Launderer — Exploit synergy plus graveyard recursion keeps your engine fueled and resilient.
  • Pawn of Ulamog — Spits out non-Human Eldrazi Spawn as perfect exploit fodder for draw triggers.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt) and tutors (Demonic Tutor, Diabolic Intent, Worldly Tutor) to assemble engines faster. Lean into a dedicated combo line—Gravecrawler plus Pitiless Plunderer and a free sac outlet like Carrion Feeder/Viscera Seer for infinite triggers, backed by Blood Artist effects. Upgrade your lands with fetches, duals, and Cabal Coffers-style ramp, and include graveyard recursion (Meren, Eternal Witness loops) to make the deck self-sustaining and resilient.
