Sacc the baby, trigger, trigger, bring baby back, repeat.

There are two types of aristocrats in this world. On the one hand you have those who believe that all suffering is created equal, that the death of a rat is just as beautiful as the death of a demon. Then there are those of us with taste.

This deck is built around a classic mardu aristocrats shell featuring two new legendary commanders Judy and Tey-tay with a secondary theme of mardu reanimator. Judith, the Scourge Diva gives this deck an interesting restriction that forces me to build it differently from my other aristocrat decks: non-token. Because of this I decided to switch up the deck to focus more on creatures that die well rather than creatures that have friends. This retriction does allow me to out some of the better Blood Artist effects in the deck such as Grim Haruspex.

Creatures that die well

The most important part of this is choosing the right creatures for the job. This mean finding creatures that have ETB effects or Dies effects Doomed Traveler, Doomed Dissenter, and Solemn Simulacrum all have good die effects and are cards that I am not sad to lose. On the other side of this coin Shriekmaw, Ravenous Chupacabra, Murderous Redcap, Militia Bugler, Gonti, Lord of Luxury Fiend Hunter, and Duerar Hedge-Mage all have great etb effects that would be really great to do once or twice, or three times, or…

Recursion

The majority of the recursion in this deck is creature based. This is because we have so much creature recursion so having effects on bodies increases the likelihood that will get to use that effect more than once. So lets start with our non-creature recursion: Victimize Unburial Rites Faith's Reward and Rally the Ancestors these were all chosen because they allow us to get back more than one creature or allow for explosive plays. Faiths reward and rally the ancestors should often be game ending plays while victimize and unburial rites are straight value. For creature based recursion we have Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Reveillark, Karmic Guide, Feldon of the Third Path, and Sun Titan. Here I think its important to point out the infinite combo with Reveillark and Karmic Guide, have either one in the yard and then play the other. Lets say that Reveillark has died, play Karmic Guide targeting Reveillark, then sac Karmic Guide, now Sac Reveillark and target Karmic Guide and any other creature. There you go infinite recursion. All of this recursion means that we are playing cards like Faithless Looting, Buried Alive, Tormenting Voice, and Reforge the Soul to fill the yard in addition to creatures dying through more conventional means.

The cards in the maybe board are swapped out with Pious Evangel   and Butcher of the Horde to make the deck more highpowered and competitive
