Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov reanimator and aristocrats strategy led by Shilgengar, Sire of Famine. The primary game plan fills the graveyard early using dredge cards like Stinkweed Imp and mill spells like Funeral Rites. Once high-toughness Angels are in the graveyard or on the battlefield, Shilgengar, Sire of Famine sacrifices them to rapidly generate six or more Blood tokens. The commander then pays three mana to reanimate all creature cards from the graveyard at once. While finality counters exile these creatures if they die again, entering with game-enders like Moonshaker Cavalry, Righteous Valkyrie, and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed produces an overwhelming board state. The deck applies strong pressure on Turn 6 and attacks for lethal damage on Turn 7. It also includes backup aristocrats lines through Tombstone Stairwell and Blood Artist, resilient interaction, and mass blink protection with Eerie Interlude.
