BG Aristocrats is a deck based around saccing Fodder to make large threats, and beating down your opponent with them. Everything in the deck is meant to fulfill a specific role, from efficient removal, to cheap threats, to sacrifice fodder.

Part 1: The Threats

i) Carrion Feeder Carrion Feeder is one of your cheapest, and best threats. While it can't block, and grows more slowly at one time than Bloodthrone Vampire, the buff it receives is permanent, which means that unlike the vampire you don't have to keep feeding it every turn. Given that all the sacrifice fodder have 2 bodies per card, this can be a 5/5 attacker on turn 2 without much investment. However, its not great when behind, as a lack of evasion, and the inability to block means they can sometimes sit useless.ii) Bloodthrone Vampire Unlike its cheaper zombie companion, Bloodthrone Vampire does not get a permanent buff from sacrificing creatures, and costs 1 additional mana. However, it grows twice as large per activation of its sacrifice ability, and can actually block, making it better when you're behind, and being able to surprise kill out of nowhere.iii) Mortician Beetle Mortician Beetle is a bit of a strange card in this list as it does nothing on its own, being a 1/1 bug without any sacrifice effect. However it grows large fast when paired with a sacrifice outlet, and has great interaction with innocent blood, all costing 1 mana, so it earns its inclusion in the list.

Part 2: The Sacrifice Fodderi) Brindle ShoatA 2 mana creature that brings 4/4 worth of stats across two bodies, brindle shoat is probably your best sacrifice fodder in the deck. While 2 mana is a lot, the 3/3 is a threat on its own.ii) Sultai EmissaryHad Emissary cost 1 mana, it would have been the best sacrifice fodder in pauper. As it stands, the ability is still very powerful, and can often translate into 3 sacrifice activations from the card, as if the manifest is another fodder creature it can be flipped up and
