Frontside? Where we're going, we don't need no "Frontside"

Freshly spoiled gentleman//gentlesorcery with the most forgettable name in all of MTG. Hope you have it written down somewhere, or his little friend will make you regret ever forgetting.

Extus, Oriq Overlord//Awaken the Blood Avatar.

Legendary Creature - Human Warlock

Double Strike

Magecraft - Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, return target nonlegendary creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

Awaken the Blood Avatar - 6BR

Sorcery

As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This spell costs [2] less to cast for each creatures sacrificed this way. Each opponent sacrifices a creature. Create a 3/6 black and red Avatar creature token with haste and "Whenever this creature attacks, it deals 3 damage to each opponent

Gameplan

We need to awaken as many Blood Avatars as we possibly can. To do that, we'll need many, MANY men. Our little lads look mighty tasty to all those Blood Avatars stuffed in our pocket.

Unique Commander Value

If all goes as planned, we'll be playing our commander a TON of times over the course of a game. As such, there are some pretty uniquely awesome cards to take advantage! Also we've splashed in a touch of copy magic, just in case we ever need to remind our 'friends' how badly the guys over at R&D fucked up.

Fury Storm <===WOW

Deck Edits

I've been progressively editing this list as I've seen fit, from some practice games and goldfishing looking to make the deck run smoother and moving away from spell copying in general towards more of the aristocrat playstyle. Check below for most of the changes worth mentioning.

Additions of note include Chancellor of the Forge , which seems like a strange addition until you realize with living death or a well timed wake the dead, can be straight up game ending. Winota, Joiner of Forces also similarly strange, we run so many human creatures and generate such a massive amount of non-human tokens that it is laughably easy to cheat out all 15 of our other Human creatures swinging with a board of tokens. Indomitable Creativity want to turn all of your 1/1s into relevant aristocrat powerhouses? Or perhaps a phyrexian altar/ashnod's altar? I thought so.

In: Anax, Hardened in the Forge , Chancellor of the Forge , Erebos, Bleak-Hearted , Krav, the Unredeemed , Winota, Joiner of Forces , Seasoned Pyromancer , Living Death , Wake the Dead , Indomitable Creativity

out: Netherborn Altar , Jirina Kudro , Increasing Vengeance , Pyromancer's Goggles , Commander's Insignia , Primal Amulet  , Grave Pact , Plague of Vermin , Tilonalli's Summoner , Martial Coup , Hour of Reckoning , Purphoros, God of the Forge

And that's pretty much it! With enough ramp and removal, this will be one stupid deck. Now Rise! RISE MY CREATION! Get out there, and ruin all those friendships, as I once had!
