Teysa waits patiently at the center of the Orzhov web of power

Hello, and welcome to my Teysa Karlov EDH primer. The purpose of this guide is to serve as a starting point for those trying to make her work as their commander. My goal is to show card choices, interactions, combos, rulings, and options for making a deck with Teysa. The primary gameplan and archetype of this deck is aristocrats⁠—a "death engine" of killing creatures, getting value, playing more creatures, and draining our opponents' life.

Before reading the primer, please note that everything in here is just my subjective opinion, and if you disagree with me, I welcome all constructive criticism in the comments. Also, keep in mind that some of the cards mentioned in the primer are outdated. I update this deck almost every set release, and I update the primer on a less frequent basis. While some cards are no longer in the deck, the philosophy and gameplan are still the same, so it should make sense. For insight into which cards I've swapped and why, look through the "Updates" backlog. If you happen to like the primer or deck, feel free to leave an upvote .

Huge thanks to everyone for making this deck the #1 Teysa Karlov EDH deck on tappedout. More importantly, the great discussion on this page has made it become a forum for theory-crafting and general information on Teysa or any aristocrats commanders. If there's anything for aristocrats that I don't have in the mainboard or maybeboard, be sure to tell me in the comments.

Why Teysa Karlov?

New Teysa provides us with several things, all of which we want.

"If a creature dying causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time." This is the namesake of the deck, an ability like Panharmonicon but for death triggers, hence 'Necronomicon.' Now, cards like Skullclamp or Grave Pact trigger twice off of one dead creature while we have Teysa on board. We try to abuse this with as many good death triggers as possible for maximum value, but we get value nonetheless by having only one of them in conjunction with Teysa.
Her second ability grants Lifelink and Vigilance to all of our tokens. This usually won't make or break a game, but it will provide us with extra blockers and some incremental lifegain. We take advantage of it with our token-producers like Requiem Angel or Liliana, Dreadhorde General.
She has kick-ass art. Magali Villeneuve really outdid herself with this one.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

Without green and the heavy amount of black mana we'll be needing for many cards like Necropotence and Dark Prophecy, we can't afford to run efficient colorless artifact ramp like Worn Powerstone or Thran Dynamo. This makes ramping more difficult. As someone who greatly appreciates green, this is a definite con for me, but depending on what you're used to, it might not matter.
If you don't like or don't know how to deal with complicated board-states or multiple triggered abilities on the stack, this deck might not be for you. Many of this deck's interactions rely on your knowledge of more obscure rules.
The deck's hard to play. In addition to it's required rules-knowledge, you need to be good at knowing what to do and how to do it. If you're familiar with storm, it's similar in that you'll have turns which need a very specific line of play to be done right. This is mostly because you'll need to be casting multiple combo pieces in the same turn with little to no mana in order to get other combo pieces.
Graveyard hate, exile, and especially Rest in Peace makes us cry. Our creatures function off of dying, so if they're removed without dying, we get no value. Against cards like RIP, all we can really do is pray for some removal and not waste our cards. It's not impossible to deal with, and if you're in a heavy grave-hate meta, I recommend opting in some more enchantment removal like Mortify or Return to Dust.
Some cards do nothing on their own like Reassembling Skeleton or even our commander. Against heavily disruptive control decks, you may find yourself in this position more than otherwise. Since this is a combo deck, we are always going to be prone to disruption.

Power Level

75%, Optimized but not Competitive

This deck and primer is meant to serve as a guideline for a 75% deck meaning it is not competitive. The reason for this is metagame and fun. Personally, I have more fun playing casually, and my playgroup does the same, so I kept from making the deck function at its peak performance which would likely include combos to try to win the game as early as turn 3 or 4. However, being a 75% deck doesn't mean I'm not trying to make it function well or win.

From what I can tell, Teysa Karlov isn't the most pushed commander competitively and likely won't be able to compete with the top tier cEDH decks out there. If you wish to build her as a cEDH deck, I say go for it, but you won't find much in this primer except for inspiration.

Death Triggers

Death triggers are the name of the game with Teysa's first ability. I use the term "Death Triggers" to denote an ability that triggers off the death of a creature. These cards make up the majority of the combos and synergy between each other and our commander. I recommend playing at least 20 of them. We don't need a million to attain value with Teysa and can often be content with just a couple on board, especially those that draw us cards. These are the death trigger cards I chose due to a multitude of factors including mana cost, value, and power-level, but there are definitely others that could go in and may find a slot in the future.

Ability Rulings

These rulings all come from the official gatherer.

Some additional quirks:

Some cards' death triggers require you to sacrifice them or exile things like Promise of Bunrei or Nightmare Shepherd. With these cards, the trigger itself is the exile/sacrifice prompt, so that's what Teysa doubles. For example, when a creature you control dies with Promise of Bunrei out, you can sacrifice it, but Teysa also allows you to sacrifice it. Since you can't sacrifice it twice, you only get 4 tokens. Nightmare Shepherd works in the same way, but he's good enough in spite of that to have a place in the deck.
Tokens do enter the graveyard for a brief second after the die, before they disappear.

Combos

Combo Pieces

These pieces can be mixed and matched to create a near infinite combination of different engines. Some cards can count as multiple combo pieces, like Pawn of Ulamog as a token maker and mana maker. While some combos require these, adding more onto each combo makes them better. If you add an artist onto an infinite combo, you'll win; with an additional token maker you'll make infinite tokens, witha mana maker, infinite mana, etc.

Artists: Cards that can drain infinitely when creatures die, so Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Cruel Celebrant. They're also the main win-condition of the deck.
Token Makers: Cards that can make tokens infinitely when creatures die, so Nightmare Shepherd, Requiem Angel, Sifter of Skulls, Pawn of Ulamog. Angel can trigger off of other tokens, and shepherd doesn't double with Teysa, so keep that in mind.
Sac Outlets: Cards that can sacrifice creatures infinitely, so Ashnod's Altar, Carrion Feeder, Phyrexian Altar, Razaketh, the Foulblooded, Viscera Seer, and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. Yawgmoth and Razaketh require you to pay life, but this is unlikely to matter since they should be able to help you get to your blood artists.
Mana Makers: Cards that can make mana infinitely when creatures die, so Pawn of Ulamog, Sifter of Skulls, Pitiless Plunderer, Phyrexian Altar, and Ashnod's Altar. Out of these, only phyrexian altar and plunderer make colored mana.
Reassemblers: Cards that can bring themselves back from the dead infinitely, so Reassembling Skeleton and Nether Traitor.

Infinite Combos

All of these result in infinite death triggers. They do nothing on their own, but if you have anything else that triggers off of creatures dying, you can trigger it infinite times. The two main combo lines either require Nether Traitor or Reassembling Skeleton to go infinite.

Nether Traitor + Token Maker + Sac Outlet + Colored Mana Maker: Sac traitor to altar, make a token and a mana, sac the token for another mana, bring back traitor, repeat for infinite death triggers.
Reassembling Skeleton + Mana Maker + Sac Outlet + Colored Mana Maker: Sac skeleton, make two mana, bring back skeleton, repeat for infinite death triggers. The only exception is that you can't use the two altars as the mana makers since you can't sac skeleton twice per reanimation.

Other Combos

Maybeboard Combos

Razaketh, the Foulblooded + Deathrender: This allows us to use Razaketh to sacrifice a creature equipped with Deathrender, place a creature from our hand into play and search for a creature with Razaketh. Our next sac will allow us to place the creature we just searched into play and loop. Each loop loses you 2 life, but this is negligible since Kokusho, the Evening Star is searchable. Looping this will allow us to search for every creature in our deck and sac them for a death trigger, eventually ending the game with a combination of Blood Artist and friends.
Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest Hour: This causes old Teysa's abilities to trigger off of themselves. Once everything is black, our tokens create more tokens which sac to Teysa to exile our opponent's whole boards. It also causes infinite death trigger which wins the game in some cases in this deck.
Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood: With these two, any life loss or lifegain causes an infinite loop that kills our opponents. They're expensive though and an old combo that everyone sees coming.
Marionette Master + Mycosynth Lattice: Once lattice makes all of our creatures into artifacts, marionette master kills our opponents very quickly.
Reveillark + Karmic Guide + sac outlet: They infinitely resurrect each other, causing infinite death triggers and small infinite creatures from our graveyard with reveillark. Like sanguine bond + exquisite blood, this is a well known combo that people will see from a mile away.
Divine Visitation + Requiem Angel + sac outlet: This is an infinite combo that provides infinite creatures to sac. Requiem Angel makes a spirit, visitation makes it an angel, when it dies, make a spirit that becomes an angel, repeat. This is a very powerful effect that can win games with a sac outlet and Blood Artist and friends in play.

Strategy

Mulligans

With your starting hand, the priorities are cheap card draw, ramp, and cheap creatures to sac later. I wouldn't keep a hand that doesn't have at least some of this. Ramp is good early in general, but especially in this deck. A lot of decks in EDH have green to help them ramp, and because of it, they can usually snowball the game in their favor. To keep up, I play a lot of ramp, especially land ramp since it's harder to disrupt, in this deck. However, the cheap ramp is quite a bit worse when you play it late-game when you're behind, so make sure to have it for the early turns when it matters more. Card draw is good early to refill your hand and keep up momentum, but most card draw in the deck requires you to have creatures dying, so you need fodder. Sac fodder is necessary to keep the whole deck running, and early turns are the best time to play them so you can use your mana as efficiently as possible.

Remember never to play first with this deck because we have cards like Land Tax and Knight of the White Orchid that work from an opponent having more lands than us. Some cards to look out for early:

Conditional early cards:

Bolas's Citadel: It's almost as good a necro but even harder to cast. It's good to see early only if you know you can hit your land drops and have ramp.
Phyrexian Reclamation: This can be good, depending on what creatures you have and if you actually want to loop them. I've used it quite well in the early turns to loop Doomed Traveler or other cheap creatures, but without good targets, it's pretty useless.
Anguished Unmaking, Despark, Swords to Plowshares, and Path to Exile: These can be good depending on how fast your opponents are snowballing. Despark is the worst and swords is the best early.
Cabal Coffers: It's pretty bad unless you have at least 3 swamps.
Toxic Deluge: Good early vs fast creature decks.

Some bad cards to see early:

Razaketh, the Foulbooded, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Kokusho, the Evening Star, Requiem Angel, Lifeline, Dictate of Erebos, Grave Pact, Liliana, Dreadhorde General, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, and Archon of Justice: These cards are best in the mid-late game when you already have a board presence to use them to full effect. We'd rather not see them in our starting hand.
Rally the Ancestors, Command the Dreadhorde, Living Death, and Victimize: They provide good value mid-late game when your graveyard is already filled up. Early they'll sit in your hand collecting dust.

Keeping that in mind, I want to go over some hands that I would keep versus hands I wouldn't. I'm not going to go over obvious hands. Obviously, if you have no lands, all lands, only expensive cards, etc. those are obvious mulligans.

This is a good hand. Some may hesistate to keep it since it only has 3 lands, but we know Recruiter of the Guard can search for Burnished Hart if we end up in a pinch. Orzhov Signet really makes this hand work, without it, I'd be a lot more skeptical. Hangarback Walker and recruiter's body give us a good board pressence to use with our engine later, and to top it off, it has Bolas' Citadel to draw us cards later. I think this is a hand where citadel doesn't hurt. The only dud is Rally the Ancestors, so I'd keep this hand.

This hand is good and bad. Land Tax and Fellwar Stone smooth our mana out in the early turns, but otherwise, it doesn't have much going for it. Kokusho, the Evening Star, Phyrexian Altar, and Phyrexian Reclamation don't do anything yet. Fortunately, we can play a turn 4 Kokusho with Ancient Tomb and Fellwar Stone, so at least it has that. I'd mull this if it's my first mulligan, but otherwise keep it.

At first glance, this might seem similar to the last hand, but it's actually a lot worse. It's lacking any early ramp or card draw. Land Tax is good, but playing only lands and not developing a board state early is far from the path to victory. I'd mull this hand.

Early and Mid-Game

During the early phases of the game, focus primarily on setting up your board with ramp, card draw, and fodder. What's good about early game is that many of our setup cards look very weak on their own, especially cards like Midnight Reaper, Zulaport Cutthroat, and even Teysa. This will likely cause your opponents to focus on each other while we're able to add to our board over time. We'll play Teysa around the time we expect our creatures to start dying for value, or it's possible to play her just to get some token vigilance/lifelink value if we have nothing else to do.

Remember not to be afraid to tutor for ramp or card draw if needed, just be sure to tutor for the best (usually Skullclamp, Necropotence, or Sol Ring) when you do. Also get around to playing bigger ramp cards like Pitiless Plunderer, Black Market, and always keep a look out for Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Once we have enough ramp and card draw, the wheels will start to turn. We will begin to play cards that make tokens like Elenda, the Dusk Rose and Requiem Angel with large payoffs like Razaketh, the Foulblooded and Dictate of Erebos. Hopefully, we still have Teysa in play or enough mana to recast her if she's died once or twice.

At this point, around turn 10, we've probably hit late game and the board has realized our value engine is the absolute threat and begin to target us.

Late Game and Wincons

Once it's late game, and, if everything's been going smoothly, we're got an death-engine running. We should be using our resources to their full extent to slow our opponents while we search for a way to win if we haven't already.

The Best Wincons Ranked in Order of Consistency:

Bad Matchups/Gravehate

In order for this deck to function and for our death triggers to actually trigger, our creatures must die. If a creature is exiled instead of dying as a replacement effect, it doesn't count as dying; therefore, it doesn't give us our death triggers. This is why gravehate heavily affects our deck, even though we're not traditional reanimation, although we do have some mass reanimation spells. There are many common cards that hit our graveyard, so I'll go over the greatest offenders in order of impact:

Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void, Anafenza, the Foremost: These cards render our deck completely null by constantly gate-keeping our graveyard. If the enchantments are in your meta, make sure to run a lot more enchantment hate such as: Mortify, Return to Dust, Disenchant, etc. For Anafenza, especially if someone plays her as their commander, make sure to run a lot more creature removal such as: Unmake, Crib Swap, Final Payment, etc. To make room for these new additions, I recommend going lighter on some of the higher cost death triggers like: Dictate of Erebos, Archon of Justice, etc.
Cards like Scavenging Ooze and Bojuka Bog are really annoying for our recursion strategies, and are quite dangerous if you run a lot of recursion. Against these, the deck can still function since we get most of our value as our creatures hit the graveyard, not while they're in there.
Lastly, Grafdigger's Cage and Ground Seal: Seal is mildly inconveniencing for cards like Phyrexian Reclamation, but Grafdigger's doesn't even hit Living Death, so we really don't care much about it.

If you're encountering too much grave hate in your meta, run more removal. You'll still see a hit to your winrate, but it's all you can do. I wouldn't play cards like Cranial Archive, Feldon's Cane, Thran Foundry, Gravepurge, or Pull from Eternity since they're too slow and don't actually prevent anything.

Other than gravehate, this deck has a hard time against ramp and aggro. Against ramp, just hope they don't ramp too much. If it's artifact ramp you can bring in some artifact hate, but there's nothing you can really do versus land ramp. The deck doesn't have enough support for a land destruction package, but you can bring in more artifact ramp to outspeed them. Although they cost big $$$, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, and Chrome Mox are all good cards to speed up the deck. I don't play them cause I opt for a more casual experience, but if my meta was super ramp-heavy, I'd consider them more.

Aggro is tough because you need to preserve your life total for things like Razaketh or Necropotence. We can also be quite slow and durdley early which aggro takes advantage of. For aggro, against wide strategies like tokens, your Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos are real bad. If the token deck is too much of a problem, or multiple opponents are playing token strategies, I'd take them out. To beat tokens, sub in more board wipes like Austere Command. Pillow fort, stuff like Ghostly Prison and No Mercy are also quite good agaist tokens.If the aggro player is going tall like voltron, sacrifice is actually really good, and you may want more. Butcher of Malakir and Priest of Forgotten Gods are good for this. Martyr's Cause is a really funny way to screw over a voltron player, especially since it puts your deck ahead too. By far the most fun way to beat aggro is by convincing them to attack someone else with a little politics.

Omissions

There are a multitude of cards in EDH that have synergy with Teysa, death triggers, sacrificing, lifegain, tokens, and removal, so it would be impossible to fit them all in one deck. But that's what's great about Teysa. There are so many ways to build her and none of them are wrong. In the Maybeboard section, I have a list of cards I've found that have synergy in a Teysa deck but didn't make the cut in my deck. This doesn't necessarily mean they're bad or worse than the cards currently in the deck and some I would even recommend running depending on your play style. I will try to cover a few that I need to get a word in for.

One of the main reasons I don't play cards is if they don't support the main gameplan of aristocrats. Cards like Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood, Nim Deathmantle, Darkest Hour, etc. are all great combo pieces but not the kind of combo pieces that work with most of our deck. Cards like these only combo with just a few things and don't really help our engine. Most importantly, it's not the type of gameplay I want for this deck. I want to be playing and winning with aristocrats, so no matter the power level of some combos, if they're not aristocrats, I probably won't play them. The reason for this is that I want to be playing with and getting value out of Teysa herself as much as possible. With an aristocrats package, Teysa becomes a core piece in making the engine run. With these other combos, Teysa might make them a bit better, but she's otherwise unnecessary. This doesn't mean the cards are bad, and if you think they're fun to include, go for it.

Budget

$25 Deck Tech Youtube (outdated)

The Commander's Quarters youtube channel made a great video about how to build Teysa Karlov on a budget of $25:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al2VxWNSwI8&

The video covers all the aspects of aristocrats decks, including sacrifice outlets, token producers, and the aristocrats themselves. It also recommends a very good cheap artifact based ramp package in addition to card draw and ways to keep the engine running. You really can't go wrong following the guidelines in the video when trying to make a budget list for Teysa. Just keep in mind that Teysa was not counted toward the price of the deck due to her ~$4 price tag at the time of the video's making (which is a lot for a single card in a $25 deck).

https://decks.tcgplayer.com/magic/freeform/the-commander-s-quarters/teysa-karlov---the-commander-s-quarters/1345369?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=sponsorship&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=commanders-quarters

Keep in mind, the deck's price at the time of the video's making is $25. As time goes on the cards will most likely increase in price as a whole, possibly in response to the video.

Budget Substitutes

These are a few notable cards that are easily replaceable in the deck on a budget (even I use a few of these). In addition to these, many of the cards in the maybeboard are cheap and may be good replacements as well. This deck is actually very flexible; most aristocrats are interchangable as well as the manabase.

Butcher of Malakir is a great sub for either Grave Pact or Dictate of Erebos. He even has a few upsides to the enchantments such as being a 5/4 flier.
Carrier Thrall or really any 2 drop that makes tokens when dying can sub for Hangarback Walker. Hangarback is just the best in slot due to its ability to buff itself or be played later for more than two mana.
Falkenrath Noble or Vindictive Vampire instead of Blood Artist. The only reason why artist is played over these anyway is because of its lower mana cost, so these will do fine.
Plains, Swamp, Orzhov Guildgate, other taplands, or slower fetches like Evolving Wilds can sub for our expensive fetchlands such as Verdant Catacombs or our dual land Scrubland. Mana bases are always very subjective and depend on a lot of personal factors such as feeling toward taplands, reliance on basics, or generally how much one cares. Being a two-color deck, we're pretty lenient toward our manabase, but be sure to play more basic swamps than plains for cards like Cabal Coffers, Tainted Field, and Crypt Ghast if playing them.
Diabolic Tutor or Beseech the Queen in for Vampiric Tutor or Demonic Tutor. These don't have much of a functional difference other than efficiency.
Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Martyr's Cause, or any other sac outlets can sub for Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar; however, I highly recommend playing at least ashnod's. These cards are some of the best in the deck.
Almost anything can replace Cabal Coffers since it's completely optional.

For additional cheap cards, check the maybeboard for many substitutes. You should be pretty safe subbing in a cheap card if its effect is similar to another expensive card. The only essential cards in the whole list are Reassembling Skeleton, Cruel Celebrant, and Zulaport Cutthroat.

Triple Update: WOE + WHO + LCI — Nov. 9, 2023

Edit

Hello all, it's been a while! I haven't had too much time to Magic lately, and the recent sets have been lacking in aristocrat support, but Lost Caverns of Ixalan has piqued my interest. Let's get right into the cards!

IN

Market Gnome: This guy is awesome and everything you want to see in an aristocrat. He's the cheapest death-trigger-draw in the game and the only one at 1-mana. Not only does he replace himself at the bare minimum, giving us free fodder, but he gets more value with Teysa.
Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate: I've slept on this card for a while, and I'm now convinced he's better than Hangarback Walker. Hangarback is a better turn-2 play if we pump it up, but that's slow and isn't viable lategame. Omarthis is a Sultai Emissary at the bare minimum, but he can be upcasted for more mana. While the dream would be to have both Hangarback AND Omarthis on the board at once, I can't justify having too many 2-drop token makers when we already have many efficient 1-drops.

OUT

Hangarback Walker: As discussed, Omarthis is an upgrade. If my playtesting proves me wrong, I could switch back in the future.
Crawling Chorus: I decided to cut this for the gnome since it's technically our worst 1-drop fodder piece with its token being unable to block. I am considering cutting Plumb the Forbidden instead if I find more creatures/fodder to feel better as I continue to test.

OMISSIONS

Stroke of Midnight: This is definitely a great removal spell, but I find holding up 3 mana to be very difficult in a vastly sorcery-speed deck with less-than-ideal ramp.
Beseech the Mirror: This is a great tutor when effectively used, especially for our powerhouse 4-drops like Luminous Broodmoth, Elenda, the Dusk Rose, or Battle Angels of Tyr. However, the requirement of needing to sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token is too inconsistent. While we have access to many tokens in this deck, that's usually after we already pulled the trigger on our boardstate. Ideally, we want our tutors before we start sacrificing, and this card is nigh unusable without paying the bargain.
Moonshaker Cavalry: While this undoubtedly could end games if we play it on a board with 5+ creatures, 8 mana is unreasonable in a deck with as limited ramp as we have. Most of our ways to make lots of mana already require us to me sacrificing creatures or comboing, neither of which are conducive to the cavalry.
Lich-Knights' Conquest: Only being able to sac artifacts, enchantments, or tokens is too limiting. Even though we have a decent amount of creature tokens in the deck, most of them are conditional based on our creatures dying. We'd much rather rely on the unconditionality of Living Death.
Tangled Colony: No one in their right mind would ever block this, especially if we have Teysa out. 3 Damage per attack isn't high enough to justify either.
Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation ^Flip: Too expensive and requires further setup to get value. Its death-trigger isn't copiable, but that does make it quite resilient. I wouldn't blame anyone for playing this card in Teysa since it does seem quite fun to land.
Clavileno, First of the Blessed: This is an interesting card. If he attacks, it becomes a great death-trigger, especially when copied. He can also help out the odd vampire we happen to have, but needing to attack is too costly of an investment and makes him a bad draw lategame.
Miner's Guidewing & Mintstrosity: Exploring and food aren't good enough value to warrant a deckslot.
Sanguine Evangelist: This is decent at enabling an aggro strategy with tokens and Teysa's vigilance + lifelink. I'd rather have more value from death triggers or bigger/more tokens though.

Like always, I love to hear any discussion or feedback. Let me know any cards you think I missed or want to discuss, and I'll respond to every comment eventually!
