Strategy
Old Flitterfang is a flying creature that rewards you for having things die. Every end step where a creature perished, you make a Food token—a resource that doubles as lifegain and sacrificial fodder. The real engine kicks in when you pair that steady token generation with Flitterfang's activated ability: sac creatures or artifacts to pump it. This creates a virtuous cycle where you're making Food from deaths, sacrificing them for power, and beating down in the air while staying healthy. You're essentially converting your devotion to creature sacrifice into evasive damage.
The deck leans into aristocrats-style synergies: cheap creatures that either die naturally (like token generators or thematic Rats), fetch effects that fill your graveyard, and payoffs that care about sacrifice. You want lots of bodies hitting the graveyard so Flitterfang's trigger fires consistently, then leverage that Food production as both ramp/utility and sacrifice outlets. Win by flying damage over time, using the incremental life gain to stabilize against faster decks.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey tutors and staples; lean into thematic cheap creatures (Rats, Faeries, recursion like Unearth and Reassembling Skeleton), and use budget sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Cartel Aristocrat.
