A Rakdos Pioneer Aristocrats deck. Had a lot of fun with B/R drafting Theros Beyond Death and wanted to try out something similar in pioneer. Budget deck so not an optimal land base.
Primer
• Witch's Oven + Cauldron Familiar = A simple combo, sac the cat for a food token, sac the food to bring the cat back. This also gets a life drain trigger from the cat, allowing Guterbones to be activated. With Mayhem Devil out for this combo an extra 2 damage will be thrown in, plus an extra 1 if Zulaport Cutthroat is out.
• Woe Strider and Yahenni, Undying Partisan provide free sacrifice outlets. My graveyard’s pretty important so I’m not to0 sure how often I’ll be using Escape, but the option’s there if necessary. Yahenni’s gonna quickly become a threat, and can also protect themselves. The possibility for 2 food tokens from Witch's Oven and Yahenni is also possible.
• Bontu the Glorified can hit the board early and will hopefully be swinging in just as early. A 4/6 with menace on turn 4 is gonna put massive pressure on my opponent, and if need be she can give me two food tokens from Witch's Oven.
• Fleshbag Marauder + Mayhem Devil = removal and two points of damage. It’ll meet conditions for both Bontu the Glorified and Gutterbones as well
• Priest of Forgotten Gods deal two damage, get 2 mana and draw a card? Yes please. Paired with any of my damage dealers this is really exciting.
• Claim the Firstborn + Any Sac outlet = hurting my opponent with their own creature, then removing it to either draw, scry, create a food, grant indestructible, or life drain is just great. Combine it with my damage dealers to make it even better
• Claim the Firstborn can also be used for psedu-vigilance or haste if need be.
Please comment if you have any tips or questions, I'd really be happy to hear either.
