I am playing what I have, but still an advice would be nice.

As far as I checked it works fine against other causal decks, that aren't worth hundreds of $

I thought Teysa as a commander would work great even though you need to spend 7 mana to cast her. I wanted to build deck, which would punish opponents for almost each of their moves. There is some life gain, so one could use Teysa's passive safely, and punish opponents for attacking. There are a lot of creatures, so one could punish opponents for playing passive, and there are some removals, so one could take control over the game. So, if You survive first turns, right and after summoning Teysa, there is pretty not much your opponents can do, if you keep her safe.
