Lifegain is incidental and not a core part of the gameplan. Big splashy turn is created by having some type of aristocrat effect out (with [[Mirkwood Bats]] being by far the most powerful) then playing a [[Marionette Master]] or [[Marionette Apprentice]] and sacrificing a bunch of tokens, which you've ideally accumulated a fair bit of by this point in the game.\n\nCombos"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A few standard aristocrat combos present some alternate, combo-based wincons:\n\n[[Chatterfang, Squirrel General]] + [[Warren Soultrader]] + any aristocrat effect is the main example here.\n\nYou can also mix any kind of extra token duplicator in there to advance towards a win.

You can block with a nontoken creature that has a drain effect, then [[Saw In Half]] to double the effect. Additionally, the copies are tokens, so they now synergize with any token triggers, can be tapped for mana by Hazel, and they can be copied by something like [[Second Harvest]] or [[For The Common Good]]. In a pinch where you need tokens desperately, you can block and then [[Beast Within]] your blocker to get the ball rolling with a 3/3 Beast token.\n\n[[Hazel of the Rootbloom]] is not an essential piece of the deck, but it does make your token and mana generation a lot smoother. If she gets removed, I would only recast more than once if I didn't have many other ways to make tokens.\n\n[[Mutable Explorer]] is admittedly a pet card. The Mutavault token can use it's activated ability the turn it comes down for one mana to become a changeling, which Hazel will then make two copies of at end step since it counts as a squirrel.\n\n[[Thornvault Forager]] is a fine mana dork that's half there just to tutor up [[Chatterfang]].\n\nIt's worth noting the drain effects that trigger off your opponents' boards as well as your own: [[Blood Artist]], [[Disciple of the Vault]], [[Falkenrath Noble]], [[Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier]]. and [[Poison Tip Archer]] (the last of which is the only one of these that also hits EACH opponent on trigger)\n\nTutors can be used to fetch up combo pieces or just a piece of your gameplan that's missing (i.e. you have all drain effects but not sac outlets, or you have plenty of token generation but no drain)\n"}]}

Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Gameplan"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Aristocrats that seeks to win with one big splashy turn rather than slowly draining opponents. Lifegain is incidental and not a core part of the gameplan. Big splashy turn is created by having some type of aristocrat effect out (with [[Mirkwood Bats]] being by far the most powerful) then playing a [[Marionette Master]] or [[Marionette Apprentice]] and sacrificing a bunch of tokens, which you've ideally accumulated a fair bit of by this point in the game.\n\nCombos"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"A few standard aristocrat combos present some alternate, combo-based wincons:\n\n[[Chatterfang, Squirrel General]] + [[Warren Soultrader]] + any aristocrat effect is the main example here.\n\nYou can also mix any kind of extra token duplicator in there to advance towards a win. [[Chatterfang, Squirrel General]] himself, [[Peregrin Took]], [[Academy Manufactor]], or [[Bilbo, Fellow Conspirator]].\n\nOther Notes"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"[[Saw In Half]] is incredibly versatile. You can block with a nontoken creature that has a drain effect, then [[Saw In Half]] to double the effect. Additionally, the copies are tokens, so they now synergize with any token triggers, can be tapped for mana by Hazel, and they can be copied by something like [[Second Harvest]] or [[For The Common Good]]. In a pinch where you need tokens desperately, you can block and then [[Beast Within]] your blocker to get the ball rolling with a 3/3 Beast token.\n\n[[Hazel of the Rootbloom]] is not an essential piece of the deck, but it does make your token and mana generation a lot smoother. If she gets removed, I would only recast more than once if I didn't have many other ways to make tokens.\n\n[[Mutable Explorer]] is admittedly a pet card. The Mutavault token can use it's activated ability the turn it comes down for one mana to become a changeling, which Hazel will then make two copies of at end step since it counts as a squirrel.\n\n[[Thornvault Forager]] is a fine mana dork that's half there just to tutor up [[Chatterfang]].\n\nIt's worth noting the drain effects that trigger off your opponents' boards as well as your own: [[Blood Artist]], [[Disciple of the Vault]], [[Falkenrath Noble]], [[Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier]]. and [[Poison Tip Archer]] (the last of which is the only one of these that also hits EACH opponent on trigger)\n\nTutors can be used to fetch up combo pieces or just a piece of your gameplan that's missing (i.e. you have all drain effects but not sac outlets, or you have plenty of token generation but no drain)\n"}]}
