Hey
I'm building a 'Necropotence' deck for standard using Dark Prophecy in place of the real thing. For this I of course need sac engines. I have a playset of Cartel Aristocrats, but I'm not sure what to do for the second one. It needs to be in B/W colors and I would like for it to be legal for post rotation.
I'll list the cards that I feel I can make use of, for some advice.
Blood Bairn
Gnawing Zombie
Vampire Warlord
Bubbling Cauldron
Undercity Informer
Maw of the Obzedat
Corpse Blockade

In this situation, you're simply going to want to choose the cheapest one whose sac. ability is cost-less. Something like Gnawing Zombie and Bubbling Cauldron are nice because they can mitigate the life loss of Dark Prophecy but obviously the whole point is to combo off and you don't want to be limited by your mana. Naturally, this leaves Blood Bairn and Corpse Blockade as your optimal options. Personally, I'd go with Blood Bairn because the ability stacks and it can grow rather large much like Bloodthrone Vampire. Hope this helps.
Young Pyromancer is an engine. You sac something else, he creates a token. Then, you can continually sac the token to create more tokens. Of course, that requires you to be using instants/sorceries and red, as well. Tenacious Dead could be abused in the right deck as well.

What is my best option? Thank you
It'd help to tag the cards :thumbsup:.

One thing though: If I were to have a token die, can I scavenge the token for the small time that it's in the graveyard?
