Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aristocrats strategy commanded by Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. The game plan focuses on generating token creatures through pieces like Ocelot Pride, Thalisse, Reverent Medium, and Bastion of Remembrance, then feeding them into free sacrifice outlets like Woe Strider, Bartolomé del Presidio, and Ashnod's Altar. Each creature death drains life from every opponent while sustaining your life total through Elas and redundant payoffs like Zulaport Cutthroat and Mirkwood Bats. The list also includes the two-card infinite combo of Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista as an alternate route to victory. Backed by silence effects like Grand Abolisher and Voice of Victory and free protection like Flawless Maneuver, the deck turns opposing removal and board wipes into lethal life drain, reliably closing the game by Turn 7.
