Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black Aristocrats and attrition strategy commanded by Fumulus, the Infestation. The core game plan forces all players to sacrifice creatures through redundant edict effects like Plaguecrafter, Demon's Disciple, and Sheoldred's Edict. Fumulus converts these sacrifices into an army of 1/1 flying black Insect tokens while draining opponents whenever your swarm attacks. The deck complements this engine with high-quality spot removal, crime-synergy engines like Gisa, the Hellraiser and Kaervek, the Punisher, and potent reanimation packages like Reanimate and Rise of the Dark Realms. While the deck excels at suppressing opposing creature boards and grinding down life totals through evasive combat, it operates without dedicated fast mana rocks and has no natural answers to resolved artifacts or enchantments.
