Budget Is A Fake Restraint by GatsbyO_O

Format: Commander

Commander: Bartolomé del Presidio

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov aristocrats/reanimator combo deck built around Bartolome del Presidio as a free, repeatable sacrifice outlet. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard through self-mill, then connect death-return Auras such as Kaya's Ghostform or Gift of Immortality with ETB recursion creatures like Brotherhood Outcast, Sun Titan, or Boonweaver Giant to assemble an infinite sacrifice loop. That loop is pointed at drain payoffs - Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, Marionette Apprentice, and Agent of the Iron Throne - and can alternatively dump infinite +1/+1 counters onto Bartolome for a Rogue's Passage commander-damage kill. The combo is extremely redundant across dozens of permutations, but the deck is a fragile combo-reanimator shell: it has a clear path to victory, yet is heavily exposed to graveyard hate and has almost no stack interaction.
