I thought The Aristocrats deck was a pretty cool in standard. With the addition of bloodsoaked champion, it's a fairly aggressive deck while still retaining fun mid-game synergies.

Basic idea is to get physical with early champions and human tokens, then use the aristocrats for a bit a reach to get the kill

There are plenty of neat interactions that take advantage of the human creature type. You can sac them to feed the aristocrats, get zombie tokens, buff up champion of the parish. And by recurring Bloodsoaked champion, you can get really crazy later in the game.

Of course, there are weaknesses to this deck. It's not very interactive and very soft to pyroclasm, anger of the gods, drown in sorrow, etc. so, there's a bit of hand disruption in the SB in the form of Duress, thoughtseize, and Sin collector.

Probably not actually competitive in the modern environment, but still looks like lots of fun to play.
