Aristocrats in Modern?
Modern forum

I don't know a lot about Modern, I mainly play standard. But I'd really like to play a version of the Aristocrats deck that was great in standard at this point last year.
Im thinking that something with Falkenrath Aristocrat , Xathrid Necromancer , Athreos, God of Passage , and a bunch of humans would be really strong. But, as I said, I don't really know the format.
Aristocrats can be a decent deck. Don't expect to win at any major tournaments. But if your modern fnm has lots of other homebrews in it, it should do well.

Pawn of Ulamog , Thoughtpicker Witch , and Viscera Seer all seem useful in an Aristocrats shell.
Too bad Pawn of Ulamog says "nontoken creature," or else it could be really potent. Of course, that's also exactly why it says "nontoken creature."

There is definitely a "kill my creatures for value" deck out there that I believe is viable. I'm not sure if it includes Xathrid Necromancer
or Falkenrath Aristocrat
though.
That being said, it all depends on your metagame.

I'm currently working on a Junk Aristocrats-type build. It's fun, but at the moment it's not that strong. Hopefully a bit of tweaking will change that.

I think that Xathrid Necromancer is a bit too slow and vulnerable for modern. you'd be much better off trying to remake last season's aristocrats, but using Athreos and possibly reaching into the older stuff. Blood Artist is a much better option for this sort of thing.
There's also a really decent Norin the Wary Soul sisters deck that you could probably fit Athreos and / or Xathrid Necromancer into as well.
