This is my Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck.

The main game plan is usually to try to combo off, either with Teysa and Darkest Hour , but there are a few Buried Alive piles as well.

Darkest Hour Combos require Teysa, Orzhov Scion , Darkest Hour (of course), a sacrifice outlet, and a creature to sacrifice.

Phyrexian Altar will result in infinite coloured mana.

Ashnod's Altar will result in infinite colourless mana.

Reassembling Skeleton will result in infinite Spirit tokens due to his ability to come back from the graveyard to the battlefield.

Altar of Dementia will result in infinite mill (you can mill yourself if you need it).

Viscera Seer will result in infinite scry, letting you put on top a win condition.

Carrion Feeder will result in an infinitely large creature. This is the least useful one of the bunch if you ask me.

Blasting Station will result in infinite pinging.

Any of them with a Blood Artist , a Zulaport Cutthroat , or a Falkenrath Noble will result in infinite drain.

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar will result in infinite ETB and death triggers on any creature.

Combos that don't include Darkest Hour :

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Walking Ballista + a sacrifice outlet (Mikaeus gives passive +1/+1 to non-humans you control) or one of the Blood Artist effects (The Walking Ballista pings itself to death triggering the blood artist and comes back).

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Reassembling Skeleton + Ashnod's Altar + Phyrexian Altar . This will result in infinite coloured Mana. Sacrifice the Reassembling Skeleton to Phyrexian Altar , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed brings it back, sacrifice it to Ashnod's Altar , then bring it back from the graveyard with its ability. This loop will net you a colourless mana. Repeat infinitely. Then, do it again, but sacrifice it to Phyrexian Altar both times, and use the colourless mana when bringing the Reassembling Skeleton back. This loop will make you go down one colourless mana, and up one coloured mana. If you have Teysa, Orzhov Scion on the battlefield, you will also, get infinite tokens, which you can use to exile all creatures your opponents control (as long as you don't have Darkest Hour on the battlefield).

Leonin Relic-Warder in the graveyard + a reanimate enchantment ( Animate Dead or Dance of the Dead or Necromancy ) + a Blood Artist effect OR a sacrifice outlet. Reanimate the Leonin Relic-Warder . Target the reanimating enchantment with its exile trigger and let it resolve. This will trigger the having to sacrifice the creature trigger of the enchantment. If you have a sacrifice outlet, sacrifice it in response to the trigger, to gain whatever the sacrifice outlet gives you. If you have a Blood Artist , you can just let him be sacrificed. Him dying will result in the enchantment returning to the battlefield, at which point you can repeat the loop. The exile ETB trigger is a may ability, so you can stop it in case your Blood Artist or sac outlet is destroyed.

Karmic Guide and Reveillark in the graveyard + any reanimation effect + a sacrifice outlet. This loop can also be started by casting either as your reanimation effect. Reanimate the Karmic Guide . With its ETB trigger, target and reanimate the Reveillark . Sacrifice the Karmic Guide , and then the Reveillark . With Reveillark 's death trigger, target the Karmic Guide , and (possibly) any power 2 or less creature. Those creatures are all Blood Artist (ping to death) guys, Solemn Simulacrum (draw your deck), Mentor of the Meek (draw your deck if you have infinite mana), Fiend Hunter (exile all opposing creatures), Leonin Relic-Warder (exile all opposing artefacts and enchantments), Ravenous Chupacabra (destroy all opposing creatures), Suture Priest (gain infinite life), Grand Abolisher , Viscera Seer (sacrifice outlet), Carrion Feeder (sacrifice outlet), Reassembling Skeleton . You can also target Mikaeus, the Unhallowed with Karmic Guide 's ETB trigger to reanimate your whole Graveyard.

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + either Teysa, Orzhov Scion or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed will result in infinite ETB and death triggers, and if you have both of them, infinite Spirits, and therefore infinite Colourless Mana. Remember that you can convert colourless mana into coloured mana with Phyrexian Altar with these loops.

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Sun Titan + a 3cmc or less creature in the graveyard will result in infinite death triggers. Remember that Blood Artist and friends trigger on their own deaths, so they can be used for this loop to gain infinite drain.

( Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Grave Titan will result in infinite 2/2 Zombie tokens, infinite colourless mana, and infinite death triggers.) You may add this combo if you feel like you want and/or need it.

Buried Alive Piles:

Karmic Guide and Reveillark + Blood Artist / Falkenrath Noble / Zulaport Cutthroat

Karmic Guide and Reveillark + Solemn Simulacrum

Karmic Guide and Reveillark + Mentor of the Meek

Karmic Guide and Reveillark + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed (if you want to be flashy, and mill your whole deck into your graveyard, and then reanimate everything)

Karmic Guide and Reveillark and a third creature is usually the right decision.

Leonin Relic-Warder + any 2 creatures.

Infinite mana payoffs:

Mentor of the Meek

Walking Ballista

Nim Deathmantle

Torment of Hailfire

Skullclamp

Feel free to consider Exsanguinate or Debt to the Deathless as well if you feel like you need it.

Any Suggestions are welcome on how to improve :) (this includes editing on this thing, I need help pls)
