Intro

This is an aristocrat deck built around a few mechanics/ideas to combo. It's built for a casual playgroup, and as such, there are no infinite combos. Key mechanics/ideas are aristocrats, sacrifice outlets, token generation, and board protection/creature recursion.

The main concept of the deck is to get aristocrats, commander, and a sac outlet out and start life draining everyone. With the commander and/or a few other cards out, your board state is fairly resistant to being wiped. Ideally, you'll be sacrificing the tokens created. If you have enough board protection out, it's possible to sacrifice any creature and have them come back. The main weakness I've found in the deck is if Athreos (The commander) gets exiled or mind controlled, since then the coin counters do nothing, or your opponent gets your creatures.

As a note, everything in the maybe board are cards that I have but am not currently using in the deck.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Combos

Below is a list of the main combos I use, though the list is not all inclusive

Revival / Revenge + Sanguine Bond This combo will kill anyone who has less than twice your life total. Since we're playing aristocrats, this is usually anyone.

Athreos, Shroud-Veiled + Nightmare Shepherd This will let you create the token with nightmare shepherd while being able to keep the original creature. Free Grave Titan anyone?

Any Boardwipe + Revel in Riches This is an alternate win condition
