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 🙂
#Elas il-Kor - Lurrus aristocrats
8 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
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.
No card found for “clothinian nightmare”
[[Chthonian Nightmare]]
Yes, I have a copy laying around so I have it in the maybeboard, might have to slot that in...
[[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
