Kethis, the Hidden Hand is sitting in his office when Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim , Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle , Rishkar, Peema Renegade , Saffi Eriksdotter , Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and a Cruel Celebrant walk in and say they've got the next big act for him, bound to drain life and pump up creatures and get the BIGGEST wins.

Kethis is interested by the boldness of the pitch and goes "Okay, let me see your act..."

"THE ARISTOCRATS!!"

Just a janky Aristocrats build for Kethis, because I'm nothing if not predictable in playing with the newest toys.

Subtheme of +1/+1 counters, as many legendaries just give them out like candy AND some like Rishkar, Peema Renegade and Jiang Yanggu, Wildcrafter help you ramp into casting from the grave again.

Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle could be the secret all-star of the deck -- you cast a cheap legendary, you get a potentially non-legendary creature back, like Riftsweeper -- Who'll then get an exiled legendary back that you used with Kethis' ability.

There's DEFINITE potential with Kethis for something broken.
