Prossh, Skyraider of Kher costs {3}{B}{R}{G} and is a 5/5 Legendary Dragon with flying. When you cast it, you create X 0/1 red Kobold tokens named Kobolds of Kher Keep, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast it, and you can sacrifice another creature for +1/+0 until end of turn. Every Kobold is sacrifice fodder, and every sacrifice is damage or drain.
The precon already has the sacrifice outlets and token makers, including Goblin Bombardment, Fecundity, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Endrek Sahr, Viscera Seer and Ophiomancer. Each swap below pairs a cut with an add, and every card is scored with the same numbers the Oracle uses to build decks: synergy and inclusion from the Prossh decks, plus lift, which shows how much more often a card turns up in Prossh decks than in decks that could play it.

What is holding the deck back
Not enough death payoffs
Zulaport Cutthroat, Mayhem Devil, Bastion of Remembrance, Moldervine Reclamation, Garna, Bloodfist of Keld and Korvold, Fae-Cursed King drain, draw or ping whenever creatures die or are sacrificed. They are among the top-scoring cards the precon leaves out.
Curses and situational enchantments outside the lists
Blood Rites, Curse of Chaos, Curse of Predation, Curse of Shallow Graves, Foster, Furnace Celebration, Night Soil, Tooth and Claw, Vile Requiem and Widespread Panic are not cards Prossh decks usually play.
Few cheap mana creatures
Ignoble Hierarch and Llanowar Elves are cheap mana creatures that get Prossh onto the battlefield, with more Kobolds.

How the numbers work
Inclusion is the share of Prossh, Skyraider of Kher decks (7,007 of them when this was written, 2026-10-28) that play the card. Synergy is how much more often they play it than other decks in the same colours. Oracle score is synergy × 0.6 plus inclusion × 0.4, the same blend The Oracle uses to rank cards for a deck. Lift compares how often the card appears in these decks with how often it could, capped at 8× here; it is shown for context and does not change the score.
Two cautions. Players who run the precon unmodified count as Prossh decks, which flatters every card the precon contains. Lift stays low to moderate for these cards because most of them are played in many decks, so use inclusion and synergy to compare cards, not lift. A card the commander's decks do not usually play counts as 0 in the average score. Prices are the cheapest non-foil paper printing on TCGplayer (via Scryfall), in USD, and move daily.
