My take on a token-focused aristocrats deck.

A bunch of sac outlets (Denethor, Ruling Steward, Ashnod's Altar, Bartolome del Presidio, etc.) let me kill my creatures on demand, triggering a ton of different payoffs including token creation (Teysa, Orzhov Scion), life drain (Zulaport Cutthroat) and creature removal (Dictate of Erebos).

The deck also has plenty of reanimator mechanics as well to start the process all over again.

We've got lots of sacrifice fodder from a number of token generators. Bitterblossom, Lord Skitter, Sewer King and Ophiomancer can ensure we have something to sac every turn.

One of my favorite cards in the deck though is Soul Foundry. There are so many good options for what to use it on. Make an army of Blood Artist for bigger and bigger drain, or a squad of Cathar Commando to keep the board clear of artifacts and enchantments. Piss the whole table off with a gaggle of Esper Sentinel. And Mondrak, Glory Dominus just scales things up even higher.

I really like this deck because it's so flexible. There are a bunch of Orzhov legends in this deck, any one of which could be the commander. I tend to just pick one at random before a game and just see what happens. Ghost Council of Orzhova is probably the weakest of all the options, but I like the art on it the best and it was a card I loved playing in high school, so it gets the nod.
