Deck Description

I've always liked the aristocrat archetype, and I believe that there is a way to make it happen in the current standard. I have this deck safe from the upcoming rotation so it won't go out of standard very soon and I can play with it some. I would love some feedback so please leave comments!

How to Play

The goal is to get a slimefoot out making saprolings. Whenever those saprolings die you will drain your opponent for life so just try to slowly reduce your opponent's life total to 0. Even if you don't get slimefoot you still have open the graves and poison-tip archer to give benefit when creatures die.

I'm surprised not to see Yahenni, an outlet for free sac effects. I know it rotates but still, couldn't you just replace it with something post rotation? It's not an expensive card if you want to get a couple months of play out of it. A sac outlet that doesn't rotate and is on theme, Thallid Omnivore, it costs 1 mana per sac effect but you pump the creature +2/+2 and gain 2 life. Combo that with Slimefoot and you get an additional 1 damage and 1 life. Omnivore won me my last game out of nowhere today because my opponent didn't think he needed to chump block both Omnivores. I sacked all my guys and pumped the unblocked one for a free win. Typically, Aristocrat decks make sacrificing their primary way to win the game. It usually requires a Blood Artist type effect (Slimefoot) + a way to sacrifice guys (Thallid Omnivore, Yahenni) + lots of tokens or cheap/recurring creatures. I think you've got part of the equation here but it isn't a true Aristocrat style deck.

Thanks! I completely forgot about omnivore. I was trying to think about standard sac outlets that aren't rotating out and couldn't think of any. I will make sure to add omnivore so I have a sac outlet. Thanks for the comment!
