This is an aristocrats style Elenda deck. We will use Elenda's ability to generate a ton of tokens and sacrifice them to drain our opponents. There is a lot of ways to bring Elenda, the Dusk Rose back from our graveyard to sacrifice her again and again.

There is also 2 infinite combos with Famished Paladin in the deck. Famished Paladin + Resplendent Mentor and Sanguine Bond or a similar effect will drain the whole table. Famished Paladin + Eternal Thirst and Sorcerer's Wand will ping the table to death.

Mace of the Valiant is a powerhouse in this deck, allowing Elenda to make always more tokens.

Divine Visitation + Requiem Angel and any of our sacrifice outlet will allow us to have infinite death and etb triggers.

Karmic Guide + Reveillark and a sacrifice outlet will also allow us to go infinite returning Elenda, the Dusk Rose or any other creature with power 2 or less from our grave giving us infinite etb and death trigger once again.

Sun Titan + Angelic Renewal and a sacrifice outlet will give us infinite death and etb trigger.

Same thing with Animate Dead and Leonin Relic-Warder.

I tried to keep the price of the deck relatively low. I think I might also need a bit more ramp. I welcome all advises, suggestions and critiques !
