Aristocrat: Crush the Rebels

by KnightoftheHokeyPokey on 22 September 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (8 cards)

Creatures (1)

Instants (7)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Peasant, Pauper, Noble, and now Aristocrat. 

Here is the Challenge:
Make an Aristocrat deck.

Rules:

1) Decks must contain 60 cards.
2) Decks can have up to 2 rares. Of the two rares, each one must be unique. In other words, a deck can't have two copies of the same rare.
3) Mythic rares are not allowed. Ever! Yes, that means no planeswalkers.***EDIT: Has been pointed out to me, by s0rinmark0v, that there were 5 Planeswalkers that started out Rares, and were converted over to Mythical Rares:Aristocrat Planeswalkers (Only allowed Planeswalkers in Aristocrat Format)- Ajani Goldmane- Jace Beleren- Liliana Vess- Chandra Nalaar- Garruk Wildspeaker4
4) Decks can also have up to 12 uncommons. Like the rares, the number of copies you can include of any particular uncommon is restricted. In this case, no more than three copies of any one uncommon are allowed. 
5) The rest of your deck is composed of commons, with the restriction that only 4 copies of up to three particular commons are allowed, with the rest of the deck's commons being limited to no more than 3 per unique common.
6) Basic lands are used as normal, with no particular limit on copies.
7) Sideboards are allowed and encouraged, and may include up to 1 rare and 3 uncommons, duplicating perfectly the rarity distribution of a typical booster pack. Additionally, none of the cards in the sideboard can be copies of the cards in the main deck.
8) Sideboards are allowed to have 4 copies of up to two particular commons in the sideboard.

Idea from Challenge came from:

Jessie posted this crazy Aristocrat challenge. He used deathbringer liege and nightsky mimic, so I decided to use balefire liege and battlegate mimic. Enjoy!

Deck discussion for Aristocrat: Crush the Rebels

That first strike is going to kill me!
I believe, this deck has the edge, but that it would be a drawn out battle do to my lifegain.

And of course, the Avenger rocks!

Brave the elements for protection and to make your creatures unblockable, nice.
Did not know about Rally the Righteous, definitely looks excellent in this deck.

Finally, Boros Charm has so many purposes in this deck, very good job there!

HokeyPokey, definitely one of the top Aristocrat decks to be presented. Good job, sir!

Lol, you made a funny. First strike always has "the edge". :)

I just found out about rally the righteous ... for a common card, it's pretty damn good. The radiance mechanic has to put people off, which is probably why I have not heard of it. The same goes for leave no trace.

Brave the elements + rally the righteous = lulz. With 2 Boros recruits, 2 wojeks halberdiers, and firemane avenger out ... that's 24 unblockable damage (2 from boros recruits, 6 from halberdiers, 6 from firemane avenger, and 10 from rally the righteous) to the face. 28 if I have a boros charm lying around turn 6. Ouch.

I believe, your deck has the edge in the late game with ridiculous black/white creatures, but this deck can put the hurt on early game. Since both our decks have consistent lifegain, and bucketloads of removal ... the game would take for freaking ever. I would hate your lifelink, and you would hate the veritable rain of lightning helices.

Well said.
Yep, I was looking over...and yes, lots of unblockable damage! As said, one of the top decks to be presented.
And yes, the match against the two decks would take forever long! :)

How's this: an aristocrat deck built around serra avatar ... g/w lifegain-like-you mean it.

Angelic Chorus as the second rare?
To gain massive life?

Or Wall of Reverence?
To gain massive life?

Rhox Faithmender?
Umm...to gain massive life?

I am seeing a theme here...

3 Whispersilk Cloak to put on your 60/60 Serra Avatar!!!
4 Rest for the Weary...8 life for 2 mana
No green needed, unless mana ramping into Avatar!

Do you want to try, or I?

Then ... 3 Serra Ascendants for the 6/6 flying shenanigans, and voracious wurms for the lulz! Pop some lifelink on those suckers, and we're off to the races.

I'll give her a shot. Oh, and felidar sovereign is just cheap, so I won't use that.

Serra Ascendants are rare, dork!

But your deck sounds much more well rounded.

I would just gain life, gain life, gain life, pop down Angelic Chorus, then play Serra Avatar.

Put down the Whispersilk Cloak, and attack away.

Umm ... sorry to break it to you, but serra avatar is a mythic rare, as is felidar sovereign. Therefore, this deck will rely on voracious wurm, angelic accord, rhox faithmender, and felidar umbra.

WHY ARE NONE OF THE TAINTED LANDS IN THE COLORS I PLAY?!

It is from Urza's Saga :)

Yup. Hey sorin, remember when you started that cycle putting all the guild leaders on a stick? I think you have started one with Planeswalkers. Sorry bro.
