Description

{"ops":[{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"POWER LEVEL"},{"insert":": 8/10 (Earliest possible win with combo on Turn 3, usually wins around Turn 6-8 without combo)\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"DECK TYPE"},{"insert":": Aristocrats, Token\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"PLAYSTYLE"},{"insert":": General playstyle is the tried-and-true, well-oiled Aristocrats engine with the only difference is that instead of your tokens waiting around for them to die, they'll be swinging in to do additional chunks of damage through the Commissar's triggered ability. This deck's neutral game is predictable and typical of any Aristocrats deck: make tokens, set up your draw/ping engine, and get out a sac outlet. The only difference is the core Aristocrats engine is adjusted to include token creation cards that supplement the Commissar's desire to go wide as soon as possible and the fact the Commissar is a sac outlet and value engine in your command zone, allowing you to draw into your missing synergy pieces quicker in order to reach critical mass to ping down the table through death triggers.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"underline":true,"bold":true},"insert":"DESCRIPTION"},{"insert":": This deck focuses on going wide with tokens and using them to either be sacrificed in order to draw cards, be sacrificed for death-pinging triggers, or be swung in to supplement your ping damage to close out games. To that end, the deck's construction revolves around cards that constantly recur resources, especially by creating more tokens to be sacrificed for value. The Commissar is a weak sac outlet and value engine, but it is just enough to kickstart your value engine into more efficient cards such as Yawgmoth and Skullclamp (along with its tutors, Stoneforge Mystic and Steelshaper's Gift). Other cards, such as Dark Prophecy, Midnight Reaper, Grim Haruspex, Braids, Arisen Nightmare, The One Ring, and Morbid Opportunist, further supplement your draw engine.\n\nFrom there, it's a matter of converting your value into expanding your token production through cards such as Chittering Witch and Company Commander. Recursive cards such as Bloodghast (arguably one of the best cards in the deck), Nether Traitor, and Reassembling Skeleton allow you to constantly have creatures to sacrifice for either draw or Aristocrats pinging. Cards like Entomb and Buried Alive expedite your creature/token engine to a ridiculous degree, and other supplements such as Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Luminous Broodmoth, and Pawn of Ulamog help bolster your army further towards critical mass. Gift of Immortality and Boss's Chauffeur are quite possibly the most important cards in the deck behind Skullclamp and Phyrexian Altar, as those two cards alone will generate the most tokens out of everything by a country mile.\n\nAlso keep in mind that Entomb can also throw Sevinne's Reclamation into the grave to reanimate things, especially your all-important Skullclamp or Phyrexian Altar at a pinch. Your main target will be Bloodghast, however. \n\nA small Reanimator package exists in the form of cards like Reanimate and Animate Dead, as these types of cards represent your best token generators in your deck at a steep discount. It is not uncommon to throw Abdel or Boss's Chauffeur into the grave through Entomb or Buried Alive in order to reanimate later.\n\nOf course, the stars of this deck are, of course, the Aristocrats pinging cards. Cards like Elas il-Kor and Zulaport Cutthroat are the final but most certainly significant pieces that allow you to close out games. Once you reach a critical mass and have a few of those cards out on the field, it will be difficult for your opponents to interact with you without killing themselves.\n\nTwo combos exist in this build: the Luminous Broodmoth + Putrid Goblin/Butcher Ghoul combo to create infinite death triggers provided you have a way to sacrifice them and the Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward + Animate Dead/Dance of the Dead combo to create infinite death triggers and infinite 1/1 tokens.\n\nFinally, cards like Dolmen Gate, Reconnaissance, and Stalwart Pathlighter supplement your commander's ability to allow her and her army to swing in for additional damage with little risk to you. Most of your damage will still come from the Aristocrats pinging, but the Commissar's chunking damage may be just enough to tip the scales in your favor. They're there if you favor the combat-pinging strategy but are by no means necessary in the deck at all.\n\nThe Emperor protects.\n"}]}
