Deck overview

This is a mono-black sacrifice/aristocrats combo deck helmed by Ashnod, Flesh Mechanist. The primary game plan is to assemble infinite mana and a drain outlet, typically through Ashnod's Altar + Pitiless Plunderer + a recursive creature (Reassembling Skeleton, Persistent Specimen, or Bloodsoaked Champion), then finish with Torment of Hailfire or a Marionette Master/Blood Artist loop. The deck generates massive card advantage through death-triggered draw engines (Skullclamp, Dark Prophecy, Morbid Opportunist, Grim Haruspex) and uses Kuldotha Forgemaster as a repeatable tutor for artifacts. Secondary wins include Gray Merchant of Asphodel with Living Death or Bolas's Citadel value. The deck is resilient to creature wipes via recursion, but its reliance on the graveyard and the need for multiple pieces make it somewhat fragile.
