This deck is definitely on a budget. Many of the more expensive cards are simply ones that I happened to already have or got lucky and pulled from my pre-releases. Any who, onto the deck. This deck is focused around generating value off as many death triggers as I can, with much of that work being done with various Blood Artist effects. Another focus was to show off the Afterlife mechanic, as I think the synergy and flavor of those cards simply work wonders in this deck. The deck has resilience as it has many ways of protecting Teysa Karlov once she is one the field, with cards like Martyr's Cause, Fanatical Devotion and Spirit Bonds, and regardless Teysa is just an enhancer of the deck not a critical piece.

The biggest perceived problem I've been having with the deck is closing out games. I think my current win conditionl, Blood Artist and company, is very slow and once people start to get low I become a prime target. I also think the deck has a bit of trouble once it runs out of creatures as while it has many it isn't infinite and I am wondering if there are some good recursion cards I should be running. Anyways, I would appreciate any feedback, my budget would be cards below $5 dollars, but I would be ok hearing ideas for future upgrades. Thanks!
