Judith, the Scourge Diva
Excluding tokens from the death trigger is the design decision that shapes the whole card. A Rakdos aristocrats payoff that pinged for every death would fold the archetype's own token engines into a repeating burn spout, so the trigger deliberately passes over the Saprolings, Servos, and 1/1 whatevers that make up most sacrifice fodder: they buy you nothing here. What that restriction demands is a build that runs real bodies through the grinder, creatures worth more than a token, and it changes which sacrifice engines belong in the deck. The static +1/+0 anthem is the other half of the equation, turning a wide board into a genuine clock and making the surviving creatures matter as much as the dying ones. The two abilities pull in a coherent direction: keep a board, then trade it in a way that both throws a point of reach at any target and swings for more. That combination is unusual for the color pair, which typically has to choose between going wide and burning the opponent out. Here you refuse the choice, an anthem effect and a repeatable damage source stapled to one body, provided you feed her creatures that actually cost something. The 2/2 frame keeps her honest: she is the engine, not the payoff, and she dies to almost anything if you let her sit in front of it.
