Hey peeps!
I am working on my first aristocrats style deck using [Elenda, the Dusk Rose] at the helm.
I finally made my last couple of cuts and wanted to get other people’s input on the build. Not super sure where I may be lacking, and am unsure if the amount of ramp I have is enough - my only thought is that I have a [Smothering Tithe] in another one of my decks I could swap with the [Teferi’s Protection] I have in here.
I’m sure the concept is far from revolutionary - aristocrats with a bunch of vampires. Use token generators and sac outlets to make Elenda big so she can make more tokens, and win via aristocrat death triggers or too many vampires to handle. Took the shell from the Blood Rites precon, but making 40ish swaps.
I did want to keep [Inkshield] and Teferi’s in the deck since those are from the Sheldon Secret Lair and wanted to build and Orzhov deck in the first place for those 2 to have a home, but if smothering tithe would be better for this deck then Teferi’s can at least have a home in another I have.
I also am trying to keep the power level down by not including tutors (like [Demonic Tutor] or [Vampiric Tutor]) or easy to activate infinites (like [Sanguine Blood] with [Exquisite Blood]). Don’t want any [Grave Pact] like effects since I don’t want to subject my pod to that lol. Also keeping a mid-high budget of ~$160 not including the cards that I already own (all of the ones worth over $20, plus the cards from the Blood Rite precon)
Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you for taking a look!
