This Shirei deck is NOT Shadowborn Apostles, instead it is an aristocrats-style deck. The idea is pretty simple: sacrifice my stuff constantly on my turn, and on my opponents' turns, and win through unbeatable accumulated value. Once the engine is going, the effects are pretty strong, but there are some shortcomings that I am in the process of addressing. These include protecting Shirei, and protecting/reanimating all my value creatures after a board wipe.

This deck may not be the strongest, and I don't think that even its top end is quite as strong as many other decks, but Shirei has interested my for a long time now and its a fun playstyle that isn't Shadowborn Apostles (nothing against those decks, but the fact that SA are $5 a pop kinda sucks). If leaving any comments, please consider that I am not interested in spiking the deck to infinity, or making it a $1000 deck. It is mostly meant as a fun deck that could still pull through with the W if things go smoothly. I appreciate any suggestions! Accquireboard of cards to get or consider is public!

Thanks :)
