Teysa is a fun commander that likes to combo using Darkest Hour or Painter's Servant, one of several sac outlets, and aristocrat shenanigans.

Swapping some stuff out — Nov. 18, 2021
Edit

I've been finding this deck durdles a little, and sometimes is missing either ramp, combo pieces, or even sac outlets. I'm making some updates:

Adding in:
  • Mind Stone: need a touch more ramp & card draw. Adding this to help
  • Phyrexian Altar: it's another sac outlet, and gets us colored mana. What's not to love?
  • Painter's Servant: It's a redundancy for comboing (in case someone blows up Darkness). Plus, our spirits become black and white, which means we still have Teysa's second ability as a removal option
  • Nim Deathmantle. Combos with Ashnod's Altar, Teysa, Orzhov Scion, and any nontoken creature for infinite sacrifice triggers. Been meaning to try this anyway, so we're adding it in.
  • Woe Strider: Another sac outlet with scrying. Thought it may be useful — let's try it out.
Taking Out:
  • Ogre Slumlord: 5 CMC is a lot for this effect, and it only triggers on nontokens. Swapping it out for something more efficient.
  • Twilight Drover: Its ability to create spirits takes more mana than I'd like (3CMC for 2 spirits). Also, we're not really focusing on combat, so getting this big n beefy doesn't really help us.
  • Mimic Vat: this seems like it'd work much better if we were focusing on ETB effects. Right now, it's too reliant on opponents losing interesting creatures. Let's make room for better cards here.
  • Vizkopa Guildmage: We were really just using it to combo the second ability with one of the soul sisters in the deck. It usually just feels like a dead draw though. Swapping it out to make more room
  • Sorin, Lord of Innistrad: 4CMC for essentially being able to use the first ability once or twice. It demands removal, but I think we probably have better options.
