This deck is all about stumbling into an infinite. There's so many potential avenues to infinite, it's fun trying to puzzle together which direction to go from your opening hand, and tutor up the rest. Teysa Karlov is mostly here to enable some combos, and play a support role while you're trying to set things up. All of the combos require at least 3 cards, so they're often telegraphed, which adds for tension in commander, which is always fun.

A sample of the infinite sacs to aim for (which do nothing on their own):

Archon of Falling Stars + Kaya's Ghostform + sac outlet

Kaya's Ghostform + Sun Titan + sac outlet

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + anything with an Afterlife-esque effect

A sample of things that can have a payoff from the above: Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, Anointed Procession, Hangarback Walker, Ogre Slumlord, Open the Graves, Falkenrath Noble

An example win: Woe Strider in play, Kaya's Ghostform in your graveyard. Play Sun Titan, bring Ghostform out of your graveyard onto the Titan, sac it with Woe Strider, bring it back with Ghostform, then bring Ghostform back, etc. Use this loop to scry through your deck, until you find Blood Artist, which you play to then drain the table by sacrificing your immortal Titan. This is one of many wincons that can be found in this deck.
