Deck overview

This Orzhov aristocrats deck is commanded by Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, using a low mana curve to establish an oppressive life-drain engine. The primary game plan produces a wide swarm of creature tokens through cards like Ophiomancer, Charismatic Conqueror, and mobilize attackers, then converts them into lethal reach using sacrifice outlets and death triggers. Elas il-Kor gains life on creature entry and drains each opponent whenever your creatures die. You win by grinding down life totals with redundant drain effects like Bastion of Remembrance, Syr Konrad, and Teysa Karlov, or by assembling an infinite drain loop with Exquisite Blood and Vizkopa Guildmage or Starscape Cleric.
