Grave Aristocrats (B/Mardue)

Standard*

Jungin


Sideboard


This is an aristocrats deck, which is trying to add to the possible value of Revival / Revenge , by taking it from being the second 5-8 copies of Judith, the Scourge Diva , and Priest of Forgotten Gods (and a way to change the opponent's life to a deathly precarious place) into a veritable first copy of them, placed on the battlefield by turn two. To do so, Stitcher's Supplier is used as the decks second black one drop, next to Gutterbones , to either mill over a card which we wish to reanimate, or to mill Gutterbones or card advantage. To tie the pieces together, Gutterbones works wonderfully as sac fodder for Priest of Forgotten Gods and Dark-Dweller Oracle , especially since it can be removed from the graveyard for the two mana that the priest produces. With the Revival half of the split card asking us to drop creatures into the graveyard, Gruesome Menagerie is a perfect card to further incentivizes that plan. The primary removal spell for this deck is, of course, Plaguecrafter who works amazingly with both of the reanimation spells, and the dorks which reanimate themselves. The singletons are to better sculpt gruesome menagerie grabs in the late game, and Pilfering imp specifically helps raise the odds of drawing a one drop in the opening 7 to 70%, which becomes relevant if we want to be able to have two creatures plus Priest of Forgotten Gods , so that she can be activated immediately.
