This deck came from an interesting idea I had with Ashen Rider + Gift of Immortality. By Reanimating it then sacrificing it repeatedly to Cartel Aristocrat I can pretty efficiently shut down decks from this point on. I'm fairly certain this works, but if anyone can confirm this that would good. I'm also looking to clarify that I can do this in response to removal spells and Ashen Rider would survive, because I'm not entirely sure if the Ashen Rider that gets returned is a new object or not.

On another note, any suggestions for this are very welcome. This was just my first idea of what this deck might look like and I'd definitely like to give it a try if I can make it work efficiently. Personally i think that Angel of Serenity doesn't really work with the combo, but if you have suggestions for ETB effects which could go in MB or SB that would be nice, or just ideas on how I might tweak the numbers. Thanks. :)
