A Sek'Kuar Aristocrats Deck that I'm putting together in the paper world. A casual deck that focuses on slow attrition games while generating value as things die. The deck does run an infinite combos listed below due to how necessary it is to end 3+ hour games in my playgroup. Would love to hear suggestions on what else to run!

The Deck

Aristocrats is a deck archetype that focuses on sacrificing your own creatures to gain value. Premium sacrifice outlets that are present in the deck includes Phyrexian Altar , Viscera Seer , and Evolutionary Leap among others. And due to the deck's heavy emphasis on sacrifice, creatures such as Catacomb Sifter or Siege-Gang Commander that comes with multiple bodies, Pawn of Ulamog or Ogre Slumlord that can generate multiple bodies, recursive bodies like Bloodghast or Nether Traitor , or just comes with great value like Eternal Witness or Shriekmaw , makes up for a non significant number of our creature base. The deck also runs an 'on creature death' package that helps us control the board with the likes of Dictate of Erebos or Grave Pact , slowly whittle down our opponents with cards like Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat , or gaining resources with Moldervine Reclamation or Harvester of Souls .
The deck runs a fair amount of ramp. A personal choice of mine is that almost all the ramps/dorks are below 3 CMC. We run all signets in our colors as well as dorks like Birds of Paradise , Llanowar Elves , and Elves of Deep Shadow . The card draw engine that the deck runs also performs double duty most of the time with cards like Decree of Pain acting as a wrath or Altar's Reap as a one time sacrifice. The removal package comprised mostly of goodstuff in our colors with the likes of Krosan Grip , Terminate , Black Sun's Zenith , or Vandalblast .
As mentioned above, the deck runs an infinite that is

Updates Add

After some amount of testing I'm going to try to make the deck more creature based by adding both creature recursion and better quality cards to recur. Also I'm playing with the ratio of sacrifice effects, outlets and fodder again. I'm also cutting Splinter Twin because it is needed elsewhere.
