Originally I wanted to make this an aristocratic politics deck with cards like curses and Captive Audience. The latter is still in the deck because I wanted an excuse to play it, but I decided to go for a more straightforward aristocrats route. The commander is Mathas to retain some politics (and because Queen Marchesa is expensive), but there are secret commanders in Teysa Karlov and Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. Like almost any of my decks there is a recursion subtheme as well in Debtors' Knell, Alesha, Victimize, Whisper, Blood Liturgist, and a couple others. Smothering Tithe + Pitiless Plunderer + Revel in Riches is a fun alternate wincon that I can probably only dream of pulling off.

edit: Obtained a Queen Marchesa so she is now the commander and Mathas is a part of the 99.

edit: I've been playing this deck for several months now and I'm pretty confident that I'll never have more fun playing magic. I never expected to do so much math and have so many triggers to keep track of, but I don't play magic cause it's simple. This deck is at the top of the power level of my playgroup's meta (yes, we big battlecruiser round here), so I have to be careful upgrading it too much. But I recently acquired Iroas, God of Victory and Athreos, God of Passage, so I slotted those in for Pitiless Plunderer and Mardu Banner. Plunderer was too slow, and the one time I got a Revel in Riches win, it was solely off of Smothering Tithe. Banner was just too slow ramp for a deck this low to the ground. The upgrades I know I'm going to make at some point are Elenda, the Dusk Rose because I love the card and the manabase of course.

edit: I've made some upgrades to the manabase. My goal is for the only taplands to be temples, Rocky Tar Pit, Terramorphic Expanse, and Evolving Wilds. It may seem like a lot but my meta is slow enough to accommodate that. I've made a few other changes to focus more on the aristocrats playstyle and a little less on combat damage. I cut Iroas, God of Victory to add Elenda, the Dusk Rose. I also have added Hangarback Walker, Erebos, Bleak-Hearted, Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero, Nightmare Shepherd, Woe Strider, and Tithe Taker. I was a doofus and didn't keep track of all that I cut for those, but I know I cut Whisper, Blood Liturgist for the shepherd, Orzhov Enforcer for the tithe taker, and Fumigate.

Edit: I’ve made more upgrades, including Arid Mesa, Marsh Flats, Imperial Recruiter, Goblin Bombardment, Skyclave Apparition and probably some more i’m forgetting. i’ll be looking to add some more red cards soon, as i feel the deck has gotten too orzhovish. recruiter and bombardment are the start of that Edit: more upgrades than I can remember, but Hofri Ghostforge came out for Purphoros, God of the Forge and Mentor of the Meek got cut for Body Launderer
