Teysa, Orzhov Scion is an amazing, cheap commander that supports several strategies. This particular deck is a control/combo deck which wins through combos, leeches or overwhelming numbers of tokens while controlling the board with Teysa's activated ability.

The most important piece for the combos, apart from the commander, is the Nim Deathmantle. This absurd equipment together with a sac-outlet and sufficient mana lets us use the deck's many ETB creatures repeatedly in a turn. It also serves as protection for Teysa, should anyone attempt to kill her. I haven't gotten around getting a Darkest Hour yet, not only because I forgot it when I assembled the deck, but I feel the deck would become to strong if it was available. Most creatures with any sac outlet breaks the deck when it's in play with the commander on the board.

Combos

Putting the Blood Artist into any of these combos kills every opponent without hexproof. Soul Warden or Suture Priest yields infinite life, and paired with *Vizkopa Guildmage wins the game instantly. Twilight Drover becomes infinite/infinite.

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Sengir Autocrat = infinite colourless mana
Ashnod's Altar + Marsh Flitter + Nim Deathmantle = infinite colourless mana
Nim Deathmantle + Phyrexian Altar + Sengir Autocrat + Teysa, Orzhov Scion = infinite coloured mana and infinite tokens
Marsh Flitter + Nim Deathmantle + Phyrexian Altar + Teysa, Orzhov Scion = infinite coloured mana and infinite tokens
