Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov token aristocrats strategy commanded by Kambal, Profiteering Mayor. Its game plan revolves around asymmetric token replication and life drain. The deck intentionally provides opponents with creature and artifact tokens using cards like Hunted Horror, Slaughter Specialist, and Genesis Chamber, which triggers Kambal's ability to create free token copies for yourself. Each token entering under your control drains 1 life from every opponent while padding your life total. To close games, the deck layers redundant drain effects such as Mirkwood Bats, Corpse Knight, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. As the board fills with fragile opposing tokens, sweepers like Massacre Wurm or combat multipliers like Inspiring Leader and Thalisse, Reverent Medium quickly eliminate the table. Supported by efficient Orzhov removal and steady draw engines, the deck maintains high resource parity while steadily bleeding the table to zero.
