Overview:

This Rakdos aristocrats deck leverages Evereth's sacrifice synergy to generate Treasure tokens and drain opponents through death triggers. The strategy combines incremental value engines (Pitiless Plunderer, Mayhem Devil) with explosive finishers like Revel in Riches and pumped Evereth death triggers. While capable of strong midgame board states, it lacks cEDH-level speed and protection.

Primer:

Core Strategy: The deck aims to flood the board with Treasure tokens and sacrifice fodder (Reassembling Skeleton, Impulsive Pilferer) to fuel Evereth's growth and death trigger. Key phases:

1. Early Setup: Deploy low-cost sac outlets (Viscera Seer) and token generators (Shambling Ghast) while ramping with Treasures
2. Engine Assembly: Establish payoff cards like Mayhem Devil and Agent of the Iron Throne to convert sacrifices into damage
3. Win Conversion: Either reach 10 Treasures for Revel in Riches, pump Evereth to lethal with Tarrian's Soulcleaver for a board-clearing death trigger, or drain via Blood Artist/Zulaport Cutthroat

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3 lands and early sac outlets/payoffs
• Prioritize Skullclamp or Deadly Dispute for card advantage
• Avoid hands without sac outlets or Treasure generators

Key Tips:

• Time Evereth's death trigger with Solphim, Mayhem Dominus for doubled damage
• Use Reanimate on Gray Merchant of Asphodel for massive life swings
• Chain Treasure generation with Xorn and Academy Manufactor for explosive turns

Avoid Traps:

• Don't overextend into board wipes before establishing recursion
• Prioritize protecting Pitiless Plunderer over minor sac payoffs
• Avoid casting Revel in Riches without protection for critical turns

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Heavy graveyard reliance (Rest in Peace cripples recursion)
• No instant-speed protection for key pieces Moderate:
• Slow recovery from board wipes
• Limited answers to enchantments Minor:
• Some mana dependency on Treasures

Most Important Cards:

• Pitiless Plunderer
• Revel in Riches
• Ashnod's Altar
• Mayhem Devil
• Solphim, Mayhem Dominus
• Xorn
• Skullclamp
• Blood Artist
• Zulaport Cutthroat
• Grim Hireling

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10

• Goldfish win possible T7-8 through Revel in Riches or Evereth death blast
• Limited fast mana outside Treasures slows early game

Resilience: 5/10

• Moderate recursion (Reanimate, Chainer) but commander-dependent
• Vulnerable to graveyard hate and stax pieces

Consistency: 6/10

• 8 tutors including Entomb and Skullclamp
• Redundant sac outlets but key payoffs are singleton

Interaction: 5/10

• 12 targeted removal spells (B-tier Bedevil, Terminate)
• Lacks free counterspells and stack interaction

Rating Justification:

The deck sits between Optimized Casual (5.0) and High-Power Casual (5.5). It outpaces precons with strong synergies and multiple win paths but lacks the speed (T8-9 vs T7-8) and protection of true cEDH decks. While capable of explosive turns through Treasure synergy, reliance on sorcery-speed setups and vulnerability to common interaction keeps it below Focused tier.

Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
