I wanted to construct my own modern deck, which turned out to be a typical B/W Aristocrat deck.

The general idea is to put as many creatures on the board as possible, together with a Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat and a Viscera Seer/Cartel Aristocrat, to be able to drain your opponent or deal damage by either letting them die in combat or by sacrificing them and gaining bonusses. The creation of bodies goes mostly through Lingering Souls and Doomed Traveler. The combo that should finish the opponent starts with Rally the Ancestors or Return to the Ranks after which you should have enough recources to sacrifice and win through draining with Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat. To fill the graveyard, this deck includes Stitcher's Supplier and the Liliana's.

Supposed Strengts:

• fun to play
• should have a certain immunity to removal, since this deck is build upon sacrificing your own creatures anyways.

Weaknesses:

• Vulnerable to control, due to it being a combo deck
• Needs two key cards on the board to work properly (1+Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat and Viscera Seer/Cartel Aristocrat)
• Does not have many other win condition
• is fairly slow as a combo deck

Any suggestions for the sideboard are also welcome.

Feel free to comment!
