This is my primary EDH deck. It is my favorite color combination. It's my second best deck but my favorite one.

Infinite Combos

I'm sure I've missed some. There's plenty of synergy in this deck that pops off and sometimes I find new ways to keep looping something.

1. Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest Hour OR Painter's Servant + Ashnod's Altar OR Phyrexian Altar + a creature to sacrifice to achieve infinite mana then cast Debt to the Deathless or have a Blood Artist to make the loop itself deadly.

2. Twilight Drover + Phyrexian Altar + Ashnod's Altar generates infinite loops of creature tokens, add Blood Artist to win.

3. Twilight Drover + Illusionist's Bracers OR Anointed Procession + Phyrexian Altar is infinite mana and/or infinite tokens. Add Maw of the Obzedat, Blood Artist, or Debt to the Deathless to make it a win.

4. Pitiless Plunderer + Reassembling Skeleton + Teysa Karlov OR Anointed Procession + Ashnod's Altar OR Phyrexian Altar finish it with Blood Artist or Debt to the Deathless.

5. Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest Hour OR Painter's Servant + Maw of the Obzedat + a creature to sacrifice gives me infinitely large creatures, if I have enough of them left to attack it can win.

6. Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest Hour OR Painter's Servant + Skullclamp + Ashnod's Altar OR Phyrexian Altar + a creature to sacrifice. This is for when you have Teysa set up to win but don't have the finishing card you need. Have a Skullclamp instead? No problem, draw until you find what you need.

7. Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Painter's Servant + 3 creatures makes it so no one else will be able to keep creatures on the battlefield and anything on the battlefield is going to exile.

Insane synergy

Not going to list all the synergies that occur in this deck. But as insane ones happen, I'll be sure to include them here.

1. With cards that generate plenty of tokens Maw of the Obzedat becomes a powerhouse. Things like Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Teysa Karlov + Anointed Procession can make token production out of hand. If you play Army of the Damned you will get 26 2/2 Zombies. Then the next turn, they untap, you play Maw of the Obzedat. Sacrifice 6 zombies to Maw and give all your creatures +6/+6. Since both Teysas are here with Anointed we are getting a lot of tokens back for this. We get a 1/1 Spirit whenever a black creature dies, then doubling the trigger and then doubling the token amount. We get 24 Spirit tokens which can be used for control with Teysa or you can sacrifice them all to Maw and now we have 20 2/2 Zombies getting +30/+30 until end of turn.

Replacements I want but don't have yet

Put in Razaketh, the Foulblooded for Rune-Scarred Demon
Get a Painter's Servant for the deck now that it's legal again.

What I can't decide on/What I currently need help with

What better token generation is there for this type of deck than Hero of Bladehold? I feel like it has helped me win some games but the token value it gives can be risky against decks that can defend against it.
