DemonDragonJ on Fire Covenant or Reckless Assault?

RiotRunner789, yes, I have Attrition in another deck, but it definitely would be a nice card for this deck, as well, since it would destroy my opponents' creatures, so that I could then reanimate them with Tariel.

You could consider Attrition. It's not damage but it's 3 instead of 4, and it destroys for 1 mana. The downside can also act as a sac outlet in your deck.

Some cards I would consider, in no particular order. IMO, you need more board control. Birthing Pod, Skullclamp, Parallel Lives, Doubling Season, Whisper, Blood Liturgist, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Infernal Genesis, Chatterfang, Squirrel General, Dauthi Voidwalker, Opposition Agent Tombstone Stairwell, Scroll Rack, Sadistic Hypnotist, Living Death, Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, Toxic Deluge, Fleshbag Marauder, Attrition, Survival of the Fittest (expensive), Pernicious Deed, Defense of the Heart

Profet93 HA! I had like a 30 minute argument With a guy at work about Ashes to Ashes. His point was I didnt have any possible way to get around indestructible, so I eventually caved and added it. Id absolutely replace it for something that removes indestructible and still gives that death trigger. Honestly , I don't like Attrition much either, and would replace that too. Good comment!

Mattio38 - Two great sac outlets you might consider are Contamination and Attrition. I noticed you do seem to have a Treasure Token subtheme going on so Contamination will likely impact your opponents more than you and potentially complete lock them out if they are not running any {B}. Attrition is great as is helps ensure that your opponents' board state is never to large are most aristocrat decks are built around creating lots of little things and sacrificing them for a net benefit so having the largest/biggest board state is not likely unless you interact often with your opponent. Butcher of Malakir provides a similar role but looks like would not be the most useful in your deck.

lhetrick13, I actually have Attrition lying around, but in my meta, a lot of the most vicious decks either have {B} or else are Avacyn, Angel of Hope. Those are great cards, but in my meta would either be dead on board or get me hated out instantly.

I do like Contamination, though! I might have to try to squeeze it in somewhere...

Vessiliana - Out of curiosity, the two cards that made me want to build aristocrat commander decks were Contamination and Attrition. You try out either of those in this deck? Contamination has the ability to really lock out opponents if they are not running {B} and Attrition has the ability to do some targeted removal. Mix in effects like Dictate of Erebos and it could be dastardly!

Welcome to the club, Novice_Necromancer!

Since you have a lot of small creatures that don't mind dying and coming back, Malevolent Awakening or Phyrexian Reclamation might fit in here, if they fit your budget. Dread Return, Blood for Bones, and Rescue from the Underworld are also worth considering. These will help keep your tempo up and your opponents down. Attrition is more expensive, but is a very efficient removal outlet.
