Teysa has always been one of my favorite characters from the MTG novels, so I decided to make my first EDH deck in honor of her.

Basic premise is to play lots of sac engines like Skullclamp or Phyrexian Altar and combo them with the never dead guys ( Bloodghast, Nether Traitor, etc) to produce an army of tokens that can either go on the offensive or give Teysa ammo to control the field.

I recently switched the focus from her first ability to the second. Teysa's ability to generate massive token advantage is very useful, so I paired her off with cards like Ogre Slumlord, Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder and Sengir Autocrat to pump out more tokens she can recycle into spirits. Combine all these tokens with sac engines and Grave Pact and you have a powerful control juggernaut.
