Disposable Cake

My very first constructed commander deck! (Name pending)

It's an Orzhov Aristocrats token to be played with friends in a casual setting. We typically play in groups of 4 no teams, with a fair amount of politics and betrayal. Because it is amongst friends we actively avoid unfun cards and combos. This does not mean competitive, just prison type styles or power hate effects (such as Iona, Shield of Emeria ). With that perspective lets talk about the deck!

So first up, the commander is Teysa Karlov . I wanted to only be in Orzhov colors and her double triggers, tokens vigilant and lifelink effects are pretty perfect for what I am trying to do, maximizing my sacrifice efficiency with a solid token offense/defense. Going with a typical aristocrat drain plan for my general strategy and adapting as the board state progresses.

Budget

Hoping to keep the deck under $400 in the perfect world, around $300. Very expensive cards are also not something I can do right now. I might be able to upgrade it down the line.

Some cool inclusions

• Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite I know this isn't a pure aristocrats otherwise I don't think Elesh would be in the list. I like the card, I want to see what havoc she'll cause the group when my lifelink vigilant tokens all are now pumped.
• Jar of Eyeballs Maybe not so weird given the theme but I am really excited to see how this performs. 3 mana tap to search deep for anything sounds really good.
• Command the Dreadhorde + The Wanderer I like The Wanderer and I think this combo would be a fun to pull off.
• Kokusho, the Evening Star , Yosei, the Morning Star If my commander is out, getting their death effect twice is insane. Hopefully I'll have the mana to cast them.
• Lifeline This benefits my opponents as well as me but maybe not as much of me. I think this will be one of those cards everyone searches desperately for removal. Looking forward to what interactions this will bring.
• Helm of the Host While expensive to play and equip, can potentially be game ending via providing a continuous supply of value sacrifice effects. Playing this with Elesh Nord, Grand Cenobite, Wurmcoil Engine , Kokusho, the Evening Star , Yosei, the Morning Star , or any drainer seems strong, fair, and fun.
• Anointed Procession + Divine Visitation Let's just make everything angels. I suspect that Divine Visitation might actually hurt me as some tokens are good as is, but you can't really argue against flying 4/4 that again combo with Teysa Karlov
• Parhelion II Seems fun and easy to crew with tokens (assuming I can cast it). This with Anointed Procession would be a game finisher for sure. Plus I have to have some kind of tribute to boros in here.

No goes

• Dictate of Erebos Because I am playing with friends, these kinds of effects are off the table even though it would be strong. Locking everyone into not being able to play their creatures or commanders is definitely not fun.
• Bitterblossom This would be a good inclusion despite being a bit slow, honestly I simply can't justify the cost.
• Marsh Flats Same as above, I can't afford fetches.
• Sorin Markov An inside joke with my friends prevents me from ever playing him (or any iteration).

Final Thoughts

Perhaps a bit weird requirements or choices but any advice on the deck would be great. If I am missing any fantastic synergy or the mythical 'strictly better' cards let me know. I appreciate all advice, comments, critiques. Thanks for reading this far and looking at the deck!

Also maybe a better deck name laughs in isolation and sadness.
