Hello! I took some inspiration from Prof's Aristocats build your own precon and a recent EDHrec article and finally built an Orzhov Aristocrats deck. Couldnt decide between Elas and Bartolomé for the commander, but ended up going with Elas just because I like the art better lol. I'm hoping to get some feedback on this "budget" build 🙂

Ive made a lurrus deck before, although it was more of a combo aristocrats deck. You def want more lands, around 37 should be enough given your low curve. This will let you consistently hit 3 land drops. Aside from that, the biggest issue I find with lurrus companion decks is that they run out of cards easily if you dont put in enough card draw.

#

Also [[Chthonian Nightmare] is a very good card.

[[Market Gnome]] - card draw yippee
[[Starscape Cleric]] - another drain the table thing with elas
[[Wriggling Grub]] [[Carrier Thrall]] better rate than some of the dies makes 1 token creatures you have

I think [[Victimize]] fits perfectly in this

Not sure how needed they are in this style of deck but I like them/worth trying: [[Rebuff the Wicked]] [[Sejeri Shelter]] [[Batwing Brume]] [[Imp's Mischief]] [[High Priest of Penance]]

I would try cutting mindstone/talisman/signets and seeing what happens, I don't think it's necessary with lurrus
