Teysa, Orzhov Scion

How? Early game is usually accelerating mana and casting utility creatures & sacrifice outlets. If there is a chance to a fast combo, I will try it, but sometimes you have to take it slow and wait for them to tap out. Interacting with the board is important because otherwise your opponents see you as a threat that is just trying to build combo in the corner.

How does it win? 90% of the time with combos or strong synergies

infinity combos

Sun Titan + Gift of Immortality + sac outlet

Sun Titan + Fiend Hunter + sac outlet

Sun Titan + 2 of the following: Dance of the Dead/Animate Dead/Necromancy + sac outlet

Karmic Guide + Reveillark + sac outlet (+ another creature with power 2 or less)

Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Teysa, Orzhov Scion

Leonin Relic-Warder + Dance of the Dead/Necromancy/Animate Dead

Nim Deathmantle + Su-Chi + sac outlet

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Knight-Captain of Eos

Nim Deathmantle + Ashnod's Altar + Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Archon of Justice + 4 mana

Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Nether Traitor + Phyrexian Altar

Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest Hour + another creature + sac outlet

Leyline of the Void + Helm of Obedience

strong synergies

Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + any creature with etb/dies triggers

Lifeline + creature on the battlefield + sac outlet + any creature with etb/dies triggers

Reassembling Skeleton/Nether Traitor/Bloodghast/Bitterblossom + Skullclamp

sacrificing + Martyr's Bond/Extractor Demon/Bitter Ordeal

I might be forgetting some combos/synergies :P

About sac outlets The deck has many ways to sacrifice creatures.

The best - Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar, Blasting Station, Altar of Dementia

Sorcery speed - Sadistic Hypnotist, Mind Slash

Not repeatable - Trading Post, High Market, Phyrexian Tower, Knight-Captain of Eos, Diabolic Intent, (Skullclamp)

Conclusion The deck is a relic from the past. It could be a lot better with like Ad Nauseam package. However I do think this list is something a new Teysa player should check out when building his or her list.
