Overview:
A token-focused aristocrats deck led by Extus, Oriq Overlord, leveraging mass token generation and sacrifice outlets to generate value and deal damage through various death triggers and combat.
Primer:
This deck operates on multiple synergistic layers, primarily focusing on creating numerous tokens through cards like Dragon Fodder, Krenko's Command, and Bitterblossom, then leveraging these tokens through sacrifice outlets like Ashnod's Altar and Phyrexian Altar for value and damage. The deck features multiple payoffs for creature deaths through cards like Cruel Celebrant, Mayhem Devil, and The Meathook Massacre.
The secondary strategy involves using the commander's back side, Awaken the Blood Avatar, as a repeatable source of board control and pressure. Token doublers like Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus amplify the deck's token production, while cards like Smothering Tithe and various mana rocks ensure consistent resource generation.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and cards that prevent death triggers. Rest in Peace effects significantly hamper the deck's recursion capabilities. The strategy can be disrupted by mass exile effects or cards that prevent token creation. The deck can sometimes struggle against faster combo decks if it doesn't draw its interaction pieces early.

- The Meathook Massacre
- Phyrexian Altar
- Smothering Tithe
- Ashnod's Altar
- Bolas's Citadel
- Mayhem Devil
- Mondrak, Glory Dominus
- Pitiless Plunderer

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 6/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck demonstrates a well-tuned strategy with multiple win conditions and strong synergies, placing it above casual builds but below highly competitive decks. It can typically establish a strong board presence by turn 5-6 and threaten wins shortly after. The inclusion of efficient tutors, card draw, and interaction puts it above the 5.5 range, but it lacks the explosive fast mana and consistent early wins of higher-powered decks. The deck's ability to rebuild after board wipes and maintain pressure through multiple angles justifies its position in the focused-optimized range.
Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.5
