(Obviously) goes great in a sacrifice deck. If she has buffs (preferably from things like Elder Cathar), you can just sac five (or less) creatures and swing as a gamender. The only thing that could stop her is a boardsweeper, but that goes with all unblockables with some form of hexproof.

Sacrifice outlet and a great exalted and cipher trigger card. May not be huge in standard, but still definitely useful.

Hey look everyone! It's Falkenrath Aristocrat!

....wait. Though to be fair, I am comparing an uncommon to a mythic. It's just really hard to not make that comparison.

I Johnnied the crap out of this card in tonights FNM.

Opponent has a blue creature and a white/black creature.

Step 1: Sac Mortus Strider for Cartel Aristocrat's ability's cost.
Step 2: It bounces back to hand.
Step 3: Give it pro-blue.
Step 4: Re-cast Mortus Strider.
Step 5: Sac it again.
Step 6: See Step 2.
Step 7: Pro-white.
Step 8: Swing 2 unblockable.

Things got really serious when I got an extorter out on the field.

Step 1: Sac Mortus Strider.
Step 2: It bounces to hand.
Step 3: Give it pro-(don't really care!)
Step 4: Re-cast Mortus Strider.
Step 5: Extort.
Repeat until tapped out. Swing for 2 unblockable.

And finally:

Opponent swings with a lifelinker.

Step 1: Block with Cartel Aristocrat.
Step 2: Sac Mortus Strider.
Step 3: Give it pro-(color of lifelinker).
Step 4: You get no life from lifelink!

This with Elder Cathar you can swing her 4/4 with protection starting at T3 and in standard...

A great way to ensure you have one surviving creature after a board sweep.

Far more powerful than it might initially look. Works well with persist creatures to blank exile and tuck effects all the while protecting itself.
