Doesn't anyone know how the Aristocrats deck works and how it plays?
I'm just wondering why Cartel Aristocrat is good. Just for the unblockable?

It gives you another way to reliably turn on Skirsdag High Priest, works well with creatures you steal using Zealous Conscripts, and can also get in there for 2 (or more with Exalted) at the end of the game.

So it's just it's versatility and synergy? Got it. Thought maybe it was a combo piece or something. Thanks!

It is a combo piece with Angel of Glory's Rise and Fiend Hunter.

I play a deck close to it http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/reanimating-the-aristocratics/ take a look if you would. It plays very well its aggro but can be midrange as well. there is a combo you can play with fiend hunter and angel of glorys rise but you can play with out them. its all about keeping pressure up and sacing your creatures like doomed traveler to make a 5/5 flying demon. it is also about busting up your creatures with sacing your humans then bringing them back with the orzhav charm or angel of glorys rise boosting champion then proceeding to sac them to make demons and while boosting falkenarth aristocrate. I enjoy playing it its fun to play with the combos and everything else.

Protection gives you DEBT
Damage, Enchantment, Blocking, Targeting.
Being able to get all of these against a colour of your choice is very valuable essentially because it renders it night on invincible (untargetable / unblockable etc).
