WIP

Teysa cares about things that die; ie. Is put into the Graveyard from the Battlefield.

Specifically, Teysa only works with the following trigger conditions;

When(ever) (creature) dies; eg. Blood Artist

When(ever) (creature) is put into the graveyard from the battlefield; eg. Scrap Trawler

When(ever) (creature) leaves the battlefield ... Provided it's put into the Graveyard; eg. Reveillark

When(ever) (creature) is put into the graveyard from anywhere ... Provided a) it's put there from the Battlefield, and b) both Teysa and the source of the trigger remain on the Battlefield after the trigger event occurred; eg.Compost

No, Teysa has no interaction with when(ever) [you/a player/an opponent] sacrifice triggers regardless of where the object goes. Of course, dies triggers could trigger twice off of a sacrificed creature that hits the yard, but sacrifice triggers will only trigger once.

25/01/2019 An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die doesn’t trigger twice. For example, an ability that triggers “whenever you sacrifice a creature” triggers only once.

Essentially, the rationale is that some triggers care about an action whereas others care about the result. Teysa's mod to the rules affects triggers that care about the result of creatures dying, but because sacrifice triggers care about the action of sacrifice occurring as opposed to the result of that sacrifice, Teysa ignores them.
