Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-black aristocrats deck centers on Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker to generate overwhelming recurring value from low-power creatures. By sacrificing creatures with power 1 or less each turn, Shirei returns them on every single end step, allowing death and enter triggers to repeat across all players turns. The primary win condition is draining the entire table through aristocrat drain effects like Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Bastion of Remembrance, paired with direct drain creatures like Serrated Scorpion and Cauldron Familiar. Value engines and removal loops quickly exhaust opponent resources, closing out the game through constant attrition and drain.
