CREEPY BUT COOL CREATURES Translating some of the more out-there villains and weird creature types like Goblin Human Villain could have proved quite difficult, but the team managed to translate the set to in-Universe theming really well
For instance, while Pro Tour Rome 2002 was mostly remembered for Tolarian Academy, one of the sickest breakout decks of the weekend was Adrian Sullivans Dread Panda Roberts
It can take out small creatures that would be pesky blockers otherwise, allow you to swing through with a bigger creature by giving it trample, or simply make another Powerstone token to fuel your strategy
An aristocrats and tokens strategy works better and can more easily use some of blacks best cards, like Dictate of Erebos and Village Rites
Other Proliferate Cards I also really like other permanent-based ways to proliferate, especially the enchantment Inexorable Tide
A deck that uses Pitiless Plunderer only needs to sacrifice a token creature or use one as a chump blocker, and thats just the first synergy that comes to mind
