Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aristocrats combo strategy commanded by Kambal, Profiteering Mayor. The primary game plan revolves around generating token fodder, leveraging symmetric and asymmetric token triggers, and converting creature and artifact sacrifices into direct life drain. Kambal acts as both an engine piece and a win condition by copying opposing tokens once per turn and draining each opponent whenever your tokens enter the battlefield. The deck accelerates in the early turns using mana rocks, rituals, and treasure generators like Lotho, Corrupt Shirriff and Warren Soultrader. It establishes steady card flow through token-based draw engines including Skullclamp, Welcoming Vampire, and Caretaker's Talent. The decisive win condition utilizes Warren Soultrader and Gravecrawler alongside Kambal or another drain payoff to generate an infinite loop of Treasure creation, casting from the graveyard, and table-wide life drain. Backup plans include devastating multi-upkeep drain with Tombstone Stairwell and wide token beatdown.
