Can't sell any paintings? Broke but what to buy a modern deck? Well this is a hyper-budget deck I whipped up based off of "aristocrats" or "artist".

So basically, you cast a bunch of weak creatures that give you additional sacrifice fodder, then sacrifice them a bunch of times to seer or aristocrat, and hopefully drain your opponent with blood artist. The reason we have so little lands is cause Seer can cycle through and find the right cards like artist, abzan ascendancy, return to the ranks, etc. Return the ranks can often just win you the game if you have blood artist/ cutthroat.

I love this deck because it is very adaptable and can do many things. There is burn and alot of creatures so you can beat them down with aggro. There is lots of lifegain, drain, and your creatures are amazing chump blockers so you can draw it out and survive late game. It's a bit complicated to play, but ways to win are hidden everywhere in the deck. Winning on turn 4 is actually very common, but watch out for removal against artists/cutthroats.

Still sorting out a cheap manabase and the right balancing of our cards.
