High Marshal Arguel
Legendary Creature — Vampire Knight
When High Marshal Arguel dies, conjure a card named Arguel's Blood Fast onto the battlefield and you may transform it. If you control an enchantment named Arguel's Blood Fast and a land named Temple of Aclazotz, instead create two 4/3 white and black Vampire Demon creature tokens with flying.

Strategy
High Marshal Arguel is a compact reanimation engine that rewards you for letting it die. The moment it hits the graveyard, you conjure Arguel's Blood Fast—a repeatable sacrifice outlet and card draw engine that transforms into Temple of Aclazotz. Your gameplan is to build a sacrifice-heavy strategy where Arguel's death triggers synergize with aristocrat payoffs: sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Cartel Aristocrat turn your creatures into resources, while cards like Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat punish your opponents for every creature loss.
Once you've assembled the enchantment and temple, you unlock Arguel's true payoff: creating a pair of flying 4/3 demons that can quickly close out games through evasion. This means you're layering value—early game card draw and life gain, mid-game sacrifice triggers, and a clear path to victory through tempo and damage. The deck thrives in the 75% power range because it's not trying to go infinite; it's just making incremental advantages by turning your creatures into multiple forms of value.
Fill the rest of your deck with cheap tutors (Demonic Tutor, Enlightened Tutor), token generators (Bitterblossom, Clues and Treasures), and aristocrat payoffs. You're not racing anyone down—you're grinding out advantages and closing with flying threats once your engine is online.
