Deck overview

This Dimir Aristocrats deck is commanded by Gisa and Geralf, utilizing Zombie tribal synergies, graveyard recursion, and sacrifice engines to execute fast, decisive infinite combo finishes. The primary strategy focuses on assembling Gravecrawler, Phyrexian Altar, and a death-drain payoff such as Blood Artist, Diregraf Captain, or Plague Belcher. This loop generates infinite death triggers and mana to drain all three opponents from full life on Turn 4. The deck is bolstered by an alternative two-card infinite combo between Rooftop Storm and Acererak the Archlich, alongside explosive card advantage from Peer into the Abyss, Bolas's Citadel, and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. High tutor density via Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Buried Alive ensures reliable assembly, while mass reanimation spells like Living Death provide rapid recovery after disruption. Supporting free countermagic with Force of Will and Fierce Guardianship helps defend decisive combo windows.
