Aristocrat

Permanents whose death triggers turn dying creatures into a slow life-total swing, draining opponents or dealing damage every time a creature hits the graveyard. Blood Artist and Cruel Celebrant drain on each death; Zulaport Cutthroat and Bastion of Remembrance fire only for your own creatures; Vindictive Vampire and Syr Konrad, the Grim deal direct damage instead. The Meathook Massacre and Poison-Tip Archer scale this across whole boards. Narrower view of Drain, which covers any source that lowers an opponent's life while raising yours; this set is specifically the death-trigger payoffs that reward sacrifice and combat attrition. Distinct from sacrifice outlets that feed creatures to the graveyard, which provide the fuel but produce no life swing themselves.
