After reading http://www.gatheringmagic.com/richardcastle-02112015-inside-the-deck-modern-aristocrats-return/ , I decided to see what I could do to budgetize the deck. Frankly, excluding the Path to Exiles, Voice of Resurgences, Fancy Lands and sideboard (which I plan to tune to my meta), this already is a budget deck.
With the combination of replacement and undying creatures, free sacrifices can be made for Viscera Seer and Cartel Aristocrat giving some protection and stability.
On the other hand, the stupid combo of multiple Abzan Ascendancy and your opponents panic, you can easily turn boardwipes into your favor. This, with the inclusion of Blood Artist, can spell immediate demise for controlling decks (which I truly hate).
One problem I see though is that it's racing capability is limited. If I needed to go up against a Turn 2 or 3 Storm Combo deck, either more aggressive cards need to be played or I would need to side in some hexproof makers such as Aegis of the Gods
Overall I am really amped to see how this deck will turn out.
Questions, Comments, Concerns, Anxieties, Death Threats(not really), all are appreciated!
