Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Golgari aristocrats deck uses Gorma, the Gullet to turn recurring creature deaths into an aggressive board and life swing. The primary strategy generates disposable tokens through recursive threats and token engines, sacrifices them to feed card advantage, and triggers aristocrat drain effects like Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, and Marionette Apprentice. Meanwhile, Gorma grows into a massive lifelinking threat that buffs subsequent nontoken creature entries. The deck wins by draining the table through repeated sacrifice loops, resolving a devastating Rottenmouth Viper or Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest pump, or casting a lethal Exsanguinate off of Stensian Sanguinist.
