Deck discussion for [Standard] Dark Aristocrats

Am I the only fan of high priest of penance? Cartel aristocrat sucks IMO.

Cartel has won me a few games. It's nice with lingering souls because they provide good sacrifice fodder which allows cartel to get in unblocked to finish off opponents. Also they proved good sacrifice engines to help trigger skirsdag high priest, also to sacrifice stolen creatures from Zealous Conscripts.

This is a good deck, but it feels like I've seen this on Daily MTG. I think that the Cartels should be replaced with the High Priests, like Captn, but its still a good deck.

It could very well be something that was posted somewhere this is my own variation of the aristocrats deck based off of what I have and what I want to the deck to do. I'd think about replacing the cartels maybe at least to try it out but like I mentioned above I think Cartel aristocrat is really useful typically.

I have a very similar deck, and I run gather the townsfolk instead of lingeriung souls, its just too legit with champion and the falkenrath arisrtocrat.
also, I think not having instant removal really hurts this deck.

check out my version if you like!

Yeah, I like the idea of gather the townsfolk but I feel like lingering souls is also really a better card here and in general because it provides a decent card to pitch to Liliana's +1, also the flashback allowing for 4 tokens instead of only 2 is really nice in many ways, not to mention they fly, if you have to discard it to a rakdos's return it's okay etc etc.

I will agree to a point on the instant speed, sure it would be nice but I like the versatility of dreadbore, also it won't lose me anymore life than an orzhov charm will really. I don't often run into issues with haste creatures, if I do I have instant speed in the sideboard. I suppose victim of night could be nice mainboard, but then I also do run into a handful of zombies and werewolves (mostly huntsmaster).
