Then the Deathrender trigger will resolve allowing you to put said creature back into play with Deathrender equipped. From there you rinse and repeat. This is the hardest combo in the deck for your opponents to interact with due to the fact that it is instant speed and everything is largely triggered abilities.

The only downside is that since most of the combos are sorcery speed you need to wait a whole rotation of the table to then kill everyone. I do have Vedalken Orrery in here as a way to get those combos going at instant speed so you can do it at end step before your turn. Lightning Coils was an interesting card I found that was a secondary Field, but I ultimately took it out since it is more vulnerable than Field since it itself needs to survive a turn cycle before you get the bodies.\n\nAnd there you have it. My Yomiji Aristocrats deck. I honestly find this deck a lot of fun to play though it is still a work in progress. I have found on the occasion it largely feels like I'm spinning my wheels trying to find something, but when it goes off it is so much fun. The ADD list on the side is a few cards I'm considering for the deck. Largely to add more token production to hopefully give the deck a bit more to do while digging for its combo pieces.\n\nThanks for taking a look and as with all my decks, this is and will likely always be a work in progress.\n"}]}
