Deck overview

This is an Orzhov legendary-aristocrats engine helmed by Ratadrabik of Urborg. The plan is to deploy cheap legendary creatures, sacrifice them, and convert every death into a nonlegendary 2/2 zombie copy, stacking that trigger with Teysa Karlov, Drivnod, Carnage Dominus, and Gandalf the White while Mondrak, Glory Dominus doubles the resulting copies. Death payoffs - Blood Artist, Cruel Celebrant, Bastion of Remembrance, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, and Kokusho, the Evening Star - drain the table, and cheap loop pieces like Karmic Guide and Samwise the Stouthearted combine with Ashnod's Altar to produce infinite death triggers. Recursion is the deck's second engine: Shilgengar, Sire of Famine, Primevals' Glorious Rebirth, Reveillark, and Faith's Reward rebuild after wipes. A backup combat channel uses Thalisse, Reverent Medium/Mondrak, Glory Dominus token swarms plus War of the Last Alliance double strike. Ratadrabik is both engine and linchpin - the deck still functions without him, but its fastest kill lines vanish.
