[EDH] Colfenor Aristocrats (EDH / Commander)

A more casual, value-based version of my [[Karador, Ghost Chieftain]] deck. It became more and more optimized until basically became a combo deck. With this deck, I wanted to go 'back to my roots' and include many of my favorite, less optimal cards.

The deck works in classic aristocrats fashion--sacrifice creatures for your own benefit. This deck in particular wants to have its commander [[Colfenor, the Last Yew]] in play alongside a spell that increases the toughness of your creatures ([[Veteran Armorer]], [[Leyline of Vitality]]). This allows you to sacrifice a measly 1/1 creature and get back another 1/1 from your graveyard to your hand. Even without a toughness-buffer, many creatures with 2+ toughness (e.g. [[Shriekmaw]], [[Serrated Scorpion]]) will allow you to recur your 'fodder'.

You win by whittling down your opponent's life totals with your classic aristocrat pieces ([[Blood Artist]], [[Bastion of Remembrance]], etc.). Build up a big board and sacrifice it all for value (or just wipe the board outright), all while draining your opponents! I also included a [[Debt to the Deathless]] to help close out the game just in case the main plan isn't working well enough.
