Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aristocrats Reanimator strategy commanded by Bartolomé del Presidio. It leverages the commander as a zero-mana sacrifice outlet to assemble infinite recursion loops with high-impact reanimation targets. The deck accelerates through early turns using 2-CMC mana rocks and self-mill engines like Stitcher's Supplier, Undead Butler, and Funeral Rites to stock the graveyard. Around Turn 5, it reanimates Sun Titan or Boonweaver Giant, chaining death-trigger auras such as Angelic Renewal, Kaya's Ghostform, or Fungal Fortitude to sacrifice and return the creature infinitely. With an aristocrat payoff like Bastion of Remembrance, Marionette Apprentice, or Zulaport Cutthroat on the board, this sequence drains the table for lethal damage in a single turn. The deck demonstrates strong recovery through flashback spells like Unburial Rites and Sevinne's Reclamation, though it remains vulnerable to targeted graveyard hate and instant-speed creature removal during critical combo resolution windows.
