Deck overview

This is a Rakdos aristocrats and "descend" attrition deck helmed by Zoyowa Lava-Tongue. The plan is to flood the board with cheap creatures and tokens, deliberately put permanents into the graveyard, and convert every death into life loss, treasures, and incremental advantage. Zoyowa Lava-Tongue rewards successful descends with a painful end-step choice-discard, sacrifice, or take 3 damage-while classic drain engines like Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Mayhem Devil, and Syr Konrad, the Grim turn the same sac chain into table-wide reach. Secondary pressure comes from combat (menace bodies, Body Dropper, goaded threats) and recursive value (Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger, Victimize, Garna, the Bloodflame). There are no infinite combo lines; the deck wins by grinding opponents out through repeated drains, edicts, and combat.
