How Sabin decks play in EDH
Sabin, Master Monk is a mono-red commander costing 4R, and its legendary creature - human noble monk 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. It works out of the graveyard, so self-mill and cheap recursion effectively become extra card advantage. The cards below are the ones Sabin, Master Monk decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
