Character Background
Tolls of War reads like a compact anthem for attrition strategies: its flavor—paying a toll in sacrifice to recruit allies—maps directly onto Aristocrats/value decks more than pure aggro or combo. Practically, it buys both card advantage (the Clue on entry) and a recurring body each turn when you pay into your sacrifice engine, so it best supports value/tempo decks that grind incremental advantages. Bear in mind the “only once each turn” cap: you want a reliable, repeatable sacrifice outlet rather than wildly chaining sacrifices in one turn. Specific synergies include Viscera Seer or Altar of Dementia as cheap outlets, Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat to convert the death triggers into reach, and Intangible Virtue or Cathars’ Crusade to turn those 1/1 Allies into real attackers. Deckbuilding tip: include lots of low-cost token fodder and at least one consistent sacrificial outlet so Tolls of War converts routine sacrifices into both card draw and an army of Allies over the course of the game.
