Midnight Hunt is here and I'm super excited about it! Fleshtaker is a card that really caught my eye, him being a psychopath and all. So, I'm wanting to use him along with The Meathook Massacre to create an Orzhov Aristocrats deck with our serial killer here as the star.

Suprisingly, this deck actually fares pretty well on Arena and can contend with most of the meta! Pretty proud of it!

Strategy

This deck really wants to kill creatures, ours and our opponents. Fateful Absence, Infernal Grasp, and The Meathook Massacre destroy creatures in fantastic ways.

Fleshtaker, Skullport Merchant, and Deadly Dispute are our main sacrifice outlets, while Eyetwitch, Vengeful Strangler  , and Shambling Ghast are our poor suckers that are offered for sacrificing.

Sigardian Savior and Agadeem's Awakening   allow us to bring back creatures from our graveyard directly to the battlefield to be reused again.

Liesa, Forgotten Archangel is a nice top end due to her having an ability similar to Kaya the Inexorable's +1 but having it affect all of our creatures at once. Exiling the opponent's creatures is great since we deny them any reanimation effects too.

Win Cons

1. Swing with little creatures when the opponent is at a low life total
2. Drain our opponents by sacrificing our creatures with The Meathook Massacre

Substitutions

Can't Stay Away is also an excellent spell if we want to cheaply get back creatures. Need to test it out for sure.

I've noticed this deck is a little awkward at times if we draw a bunch of little cards and very little sac outlets and little to no card draw, but that is due to bad draws, not really the deck not working.

I'm hoping we get a nice Orzhov creature that can act as an aristocrat since Fleshtaker isn't the strongest card out there. (Don't get me wrong though, he gets work done)
