Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a classic Orzhov Aristocrats deck helmed by Vito, Fanatic of Aclazotz, built around sacrificing creatures for value, draining opponents through death-trigger payoffs, and generating a relentless token swarm. Vito escalates each turn's sacrifices - first gaining life, then draining each opponent, then creating a 4/3 flying Demon - turning every sacrifice outlet into a compounding engine. The primary win condition is incremental drain from Blood Artist, Cruel Celebrant, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, backed by a compact infinite-drain loop (recursive creature + Pitiless Plunderer + a drain piece). Secondary paths include a go-wide token army amplified by Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Call for Unity, plus heavy recursion through Rite of the Moth and Victimize. The deck grinds value through sacrifice-draw spells and repeatable engines, aiming to out-value opponents before closing with a combo or a wide lethal swing.
