Queen of Soil and Shadow
Savra, Queen of the Golgari is a compact commander for sacrifice decks that wants you to balance loss with gain. Cast for {2}{B}{G}, she reads plainly and does heavy strategic work. Whenever you sacrifice a black creature you may pay 2 life to force each other player to sacrifice a creature. When you sacrifice a green creature you may gain 2 life. That dual trigger rewards decks that run both token producers and value engines that hand you causes to sacrifice your own creatures.
In play she changes priorities. Opponents must account for your willingness to pay life as a resource. She also smooths single player longevity by converting green sacrifices into life. The Retro Frame treatment here gives the card a classic look without changing how it resolves. If you pilot Golgari midrange, token or aristocrat lists Savra is a reliable piece that pressures board states and preserves the Golgari philosophy of decay fueling growth.
