Ashnod the Uncaring
Deathtouch Whenever you activate an ability of an artifact or creature that isn't a mana ability, if one or more permanents were sacrificed to activate it, you may copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copy. (Sacrificing an artifact for mana to activate an ability doesn't count.)
How Ashnod the Uncaring decks play in EDH
Ashnod the Uncaring is a Grixis commander in blue, black and red costing 2UBR, and its legendary creature - human artificer line shapes the whole deck around it. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. Artifacts drive the deck, so cheap mana rocks and artifact recursion do double duty. The cards below are the ones Ashnod the Uncaring decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
