Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Orzhov Aristocrats combo deck commanded by Ratadrabik of Urborg. The primary strategy converts legendary creature deaths into nonlegendary 2/2 Zombie tokens, multiplying enter-the-battlefield, death, and token triggers across the board. The deck's primary win condition is a compact infinite loop with Boromir, Warden of the Tower: Boromir sacrifices itself to grant indestructible and make a Zombie copy the Ring-bearer, which turns that token legendary and allows it to sacrifice itself repeatedly. Paired with aristocrat drain pieces like Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim or token doublers like Teysa Karlov and Mondrak, Glory Dominus, this loop instantly closes the game. A backup infinite mana loop with Chthonian Nightmare and Priest of Gix, paired with crushing asymmetric board control from Grave Pact, Noxious Ghoul, and Sheoldred, Whispering One, ensures the deck dominates prolonged games through resilient recursion.
