Hub request: Aristocrats

For the uninitiated, Aristocrats are creatures with Altar-style abilities (activated abilities that require you sacrifice a creature and often nothing else).

Named for Vampire Aristocrat and the later, and far more popular, Falkenrath Aristocrat; most creatures with "Aristocrat" in their name have this kind of ability. Other notable aristocrats are Nantuko Husk, Carrion Feeder, and Viscera Seer.

Aristocrat sacrifice creatures as their primary source of value. This most often comes in the form of pushing through lethal damage, although aristocrat lists in EDH can do all sorts of things by sacrificing creatures. There are plenty of Aristocrat lists on this site, and I feel they aren't being properly represented.

I support this, as well.

The archetype keeps raising its head every now and then, when sets contain cards that facilitate this type of play.

They actually added the hub less than 24 hours after I posted this.
