I love using Tortured Existence in my aristocrat's decks to get stuff back to your hand you want to cast again and pitching what you want into the graveyard. Don't see it played nearly enough!
Always nice to see commander content on this channel. I run into the pit outside of arisocrats in any black deck that has tokens lying around. It's a very strong card. Also, neat find with wyrm's crossing patrol. I have an elas il-kor pEDH deck that would fit nicely into
Ziggy looks like he's listening to every word you say lol Edit: This video is sick. Adding all the black cards to my aristocrats deck. Also, YES, WE ARE THE STRICTLY SQUAD!!
It would be awfully busted if it did. But still, any time somebody attacks you, you get life for each attacking creature. It can hose go wide strategies. You attack me with 37 1/1 creatures? I get 37 life. You did nothing. For 2/2s, it halves the damage dealt. It can be a good cushion. Also, with aristocrats, you're bound to have chump blockers. So in a lot of ways, it's just one-sided lifegain. I wouldn't sleep on it either way.
My favorite Campaign of Vengeance type card is Brutal Hordechief. Same cost, same effect but it also comes bundled with a Master Warcraft as an activated ability
Rabble Rousing and your #1 are two of my favourite cards : ) Your #5 is in my lands/self-milling/aristocrats brewing piles. Anything running Aftermath Analyst.
I've been fiddling with a Mardu Aristocrats in standard w/ Valkyrie's Call. (Flying is sorta it's sore spot) I'm enjoying toying with it though. There's A LOT of sacrifice synergy in Rakdos these days.
If you like Orim's Prayer, you should also check out Revenge of Ravens, although maybe that one isn't obscure. It's still pretty cheap though. Another cool aspect of Angelic Aberration is that it works even if your creatures are buffed by anthems, since it's looking at their *base* stats.
you brought up those 1/1 red mercs with the sell-sword. i had a eureka moment when i realized to tap it to give my "aristocrat" +1/0, before saccing it for a counter. boy did i feel silly for not seeing it earlier (like 3rd or 4th game)
Dev, you missed Plunge into Darkness! Black renounce with larger gain, plus a bonus. One of my all time favorites. I can't believe it hasn't seen a reprint and its still fairly cheap.
I still think one of the most underrated card for aristocrats that I never see on anyones list is Dark Prophecy - it's a little pricey at 8 bucks but for what it does it's well worth it!
Personally love my Bloodchief's Ascension in my aristocrat's decks..punishes opponents for playing instant and sorcery cards while giving u life triggers
Is Kambal, Consul of Allocation a good Commander for Aristocrats? I want to build a deck, but I don't know where to start (beyond literally just ripping off someone else's Orvhov deck)
Waddup Dev, it's wizards

my heart melts every time I see how much these cats love you.
Glad to see some videos like this from you, especially as a fellow aristocrats player

Orim's Prayer does not trigger individually per creature.
The Oracle text is even clearer about that.

Oracle text is always better.
It is wonderful in my phelldagriff deck. Everyone gets 1/1 hippos and I am immune to 1/1s!
So glad I found this channel ~6 months ago. It’s one of my favorite!
Thanks a lot for the rec on into the pit. Realized I have 3 decks it would slot into perfectly!

This is some pretty great timing. I have a Ceaser deck that I wanted to do some tweaks to.

Glad to see Commander content again! Thought we lost you to Standard.
Reprocess is basically God-Eternal Bontu, who I used in my Mardu artifacts deck years ago. Lovely cards
awesome, awesome video. saved nearly all of these cards. now time to finally make my 38th commander deck....aristocrats.
I run an elas deck as well and a fe of these are going to be added for sure. a big add that i had recently was nine-lives familiar

Fun change of pace hope this dose well
Great video and this could be a cool theme to pursue! Meaning 15 underrated (insert commander archetype) cards you should be playing!
Thanks for all the content happy new years brudda🎉
"---and ziggy's here today!" very very fast like
Also would love more vids like this, or anything really, just love the vids
Great stuff Dev! More of this please.

Cute cat! thanks also for the deck ideas and good vibes!
Whispering vampire or into the pit plus necrobloom is some true nonsense, if not quite as degenerative as other options.

Sleepers for aristocrats/token decks? Promise of Aclazots is currently SIX CENTS! Get one today!
I love how flavorful “aristocrats” is as a deck name. Literally sacrificing underlings for the good of the upper class.
Dev, you missed Plunge into Darkness! Black renounce with larger gain, plus a bonus. One of my all time favorites. I can't believe it hasn't seen a reprint and its still fairly cheap.
More commander related Content plz!
Nice you gave me 2 really great suggestions ❤
Into the Pit best art I’ve seen on a card in a minute
I have recently discovered Serrated Scorpion 😮 I can only image how crazy that thing is when it's standard legal
Into the pit is a house in my Zul Ashur Lich Lord deck 👌
I still think one of the most underrated card for aristocrats that I never see on anyones list is Dark Prophecy - it's a little pricey at 8 bucks but for what it does it's well worth it!

Great content
Orim's Prayer is a testament to how good Magic art used to be....gone are the days of classic high fantasy art 🎨
Yo Dev you gonna upload some in person gameplay vids
Instead of circle of despair, may I suggest martyrs cause? Or in addition to
Thanks, Dev!
Pitiless Carnage can be a second, slightly better copy of Reprocess.
I want to hear about your favorite aristocrat commanders, why you love them, if there are others you are curious about making and why.
Supporting Dev.
Orim’s prayer gains you all the life in one trigger
Like for Zig

Kitty
Aristocats
My elas il kor deck is almost all 2 drops so that raise the past hits everything
I'm looking to make a similar deck so that I can have Lurrus as companion.
@ only reason I didn’t do that is because it was originally mono black shirei shizos caretaker and I wanted to keep it
AristoCAT
Shirei shizos caretaker is my aristocrat 5 drop
Awesome
Build Kels, the fight fixer for a dimir aristocrats deck Dev.
Link us that Elas deck!!
Dope video. Do you a have a decklist for your commanders we can peep ? 🫣
