An aristocratic God-Pharaoh's Gift deck that's trying to win with Marionette Master on a budget. This is essentially Saffronolive's mono-black monument deck crossed with a U/B GPG deck with the money cards taken out. You are basically relying on Gate to the Afterlife to fill the graveyard rather than using it immediately however unlike most Gift decks it has the marionette master win condition that your opponents might not be expecting.

I'm also heavily considering subbing out Arguel's Blood Fast   for Deadeye Tracker and Duress for Kitesail Freebooter. That would mean game two against control I'll have 16 pirates and can make use of March of the Drowned and Forerunner of the Coalition. I'm not sure where the latter cards could fit tho. Something else I've considered is throwing in the Oathsworn Vampire combo but I'm less impressed with that idea as it depowers the deck as a whole by adding a way of accidentally going infinite one in a million times.

Additional cards I'm considering include: Herald of Anguish, Gleaming Barrier, Festering Mummy, Filigree Familiar and Wretched Camel.
