Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov Aristocrats deck is led by Teysa Karlov, who doubles all death triggers and grants creature tokens vigilance and lifelink. The primary game plan generates disposable creature tokens and recurring creatures, then feeds them into free sacrifice outlets like Ashnod's Altar and Carrion Feeder. With Teysa Karlov on the battlefield, drain engines such as Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, and Syr Konrad inflict doubled life loss on every opponent. Secondary paths close games through infinite sacrifice loops with Pitiless Plunderer and Reassembling Skeleton, or through mass graveyard swings using Living Death and token swarms boosted by Mondrak, Glory Dominus.
