The deck has a few categories of cards and so I will split most of the into 3 main categories. The first help define the aristocrat style deck by helping to sacrifice creatures; Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Syndicate Trafficker, and the new addition of Herald of Anguish are our sac outlets and unlike a normal aristocrats deck, our theme is sacrificing artifacts and artifact creatures.Our payoffs include Zulaport Cutthroat and Marionette Master, which both trigger on artifact creatures, but both only do artifacts or creatures otherwise. It makes deckbuilding a little difficult, but we have plenty of artifact creatures and servos that will be around to satisfy the requirements for both. Another new addition helps to power out the 6 CMC Marionette Master, while also draining the opponent a little more when casting any creature spell ans that card is Bontu's Monument. While it looks very underpowered for standard, its a mana-rock essentially for most of our deck and helps to cast 2 lower cost creatures per turn and flood the board, and gets out Herald and MM. Also against most control decks, the drain is on cast, so fill up on small creatures and flood the board against control. The new additions need tested and the deck is still on a budget, but I think can be pretty powerful.

A turn 2 artifact creature(we have 12), followed by Bontu's Monument or Weaponcraft Enthusiast powers out a turn 4 Herald of Anguish, which is powerful. Even a turn 5 Marionette Master is really good. The deck can get into a good position if the payoffs are kept alive, which can admittedly be difficult. But we also can switch to aetherborn tribal out of rhe sideboard and get rid of our payoff cards. We get some card draw, a lord effect, and an amazing 2 drop in Gifted Aetherborn
