How They Brew It

Felisa is too high-brow to sacrifice common fodder in her aristocrats deck. Behold Superaristofriends: the deck archetype that sacrifices nothin' but Gideon, Gideon, and more Gideon!

This is another can't-miss list. Dash creatures return to your hand at the end of the turn if you cast them for their dash cost, so mutating Vadrok onto them means you'll always be able to cast him without incuring any Commander tax. Run him out over and over to cast as many spells as you want from the graveyard!

Yasova steals creatures from your opponents, but instead of just sacrificing them, why not Polymorph them into something terrifying?

One of my landmark techs, this Zaxara, the Exemplary deck wins by casting X spells for 0. Use aristocrats staples alongside some clever tech like Shirei and Mortuary to take your enemies down!

It's a $10 reanimator deck! Temporarily reanimate your creatures using Lukka's ability, and then blink your reanimated creature to keep it around forever!

My famous $10 Storm deck! Use inexpensive spells that change creature types to transform your poor, innocent minions into fearsome pirates, and then combo off with Malcolm and Breeches!

Zagras grants your entire board deathtouch. Could that pair well with a set of vampire-like creatures who get extra benefits when they kill creatures, and could you turn that power inward for some extra-janky combos?

Usually, Tayam works by removing counters from your own creatures to get extra value out of the graveyard. This version removes counters from your animated Sagas instead!

White's well-known for symmetrical draw effects, where you can draw cards as long as you give your opponents some, too. But full hands are the devil's plaything, at least when you get Gerrard Capashen involved to take advantage of your overencumbered opponents!

Creatures so nice you'd play them twice: that's Orvar's usual MO. But what if I told you Orvar's most fun target is the upkeep step itself?
