Aristocrat: Black Sac Attack

by KnightoftheHokeyPokey on 15 October 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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 Wildspeaker
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.

In case you are wondering, no, I do not like playing black. Or sacrifice-based decks. It's just the old-fashioned white player in me - I care for my creatures. They have hopes and dreams too, you know!

So ... I went and made a deck that makes me feel less bad about sacrificing my own soldiers ... because they are already dead and can freaking return to the battlefield. Oh, and sacrificing them to an evil fallen angel seems much more ... sacrilegious than appeasing the appetite of a demon. Oh well, maybe it's just me. As for those dredge cards ... it turns out that duct tape really can fix anything that's not electrical. :)

What can I say ... I love exercising my acidic wit. Which is probably why it is in everyone's best interest that I stay as far away from blue control as possible. With you know, cards like Luminarch Ascension and Geist of Saint Traft to back me up, 'cause I know what the angels like. :D
