The general gist is this: Bleed, bleed, bleed. Bleed by one point, bleed by two, and suck up as much of that life as we can. We have as much extort as seemed appropriate, plus enough vampires to make this pseudo-tribal.

If we can't bleed them out, we can hit with our Commander when we want and always exile him (by hopefully sacrificing a token from one of the token generators) to reappear next turn (doing one damage in the process and gaining us one life).

There are also plenty of heavy hitters towards the end if we need to clean up a bit. Any suggestions are more than welcome!

This began as a Teysa deck two years ago (my first commander deck) and I think it works much better with Ghost Council leading the charge. I have played this once and came in second place (the deck was missing quite a few pieces that it now has though).
