Dictate of Erebos turns your creature deaths into sacrifices for every opponent. Each time one of your creatures dies, each opponent chooses a creature to sacrifice, letting a black sacrifice deck convert expendable bodies into control over opposing boards. Flash allows you to deploy the enchantment just before an expected death or in response to a situation that will make several creatures die.
Ophiomancer provides repeated Snake tokens, while Bloodghast can return through landfall and be sacrificed again. Pair those creatures with Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar to choose the timing of the deaths and receive another resource at the same time. Blood Artist adds life drain, giving the same sacrifice sequence both a controlling role and a way to pressure life totals.
Opponents choose their sacrificed creatures, so tokens and expendable utility bodies can absorb the early triggers. Multiple deaths help work through that material before the important threats are removed. The effect does not target the creatures and can force sacrifices of indestructible or hexproof threats when the opponent has no better creature to choose.
At five mana, the Dictate should enter when your deck has creatures available to use or a death event already approaching. It does little by itself on an empty board. Preserve enough recursion and token production to keep the engine supplied, and remember that creature deaths can also reward opposing aristocrats decks even while their boards are being reduced.
