Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aristocrats and Reanimator strategy commanded by Bartolomé del Presidio. It leverages Bartolomé as an accessible, zero-mana sacrifice outlet in the command zone to convert recurring creature deaths into game-ending pressure. The core strategy utilizes self-mill and targeted graveyard tutoring to set up a recursion loop featuring Sun Titan, Shepherd of the Cosmos, or Angel of Indemnity coupled with low-mana recursion auras such as Kaya's Ghostform, Angelic Renewal, or Necrogen Communion. Once the loop is assembled alongside an aristocrat drain payoff like Zulaport Cutthroat or Marionette Apprentice, the deck drains the entire table in a single turn. Outside the combo, the deck relies on mid-game attrition, targeted exile auras, and reanimation sorceries to maintain a resilient board presence.
