Seems interesting but seems like a weaker version of my build...if your interested to see my Teysa build its Tessa Discussion (Come and Chat). It is more expensive than yours but if budget isn't a problem for you then my build will help you further strengthen you're own build. Of course your personal choices is what makes the deck you and i see you picked some very weak cards for your deck that you might want to reevaluate later if thats your purpose.

Leonin Relic-Warder + Animate Dead/Necromancy/Dance of the Dead is an infinity loop, I believe?

Would Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood with a damage proc be an infinite combo? Idk, seems too simple

Hella, Yes, that's a well known infinite combo.

It is, however, a little difficult to get off in a 100 card singleton format, and both of the cards don't really do that much by themselves.

Very cool deck. +1!

Initiates of the Ebon Hand let you filter all that mana from Ashnod's Altar into black for a turn.....just sayin

July 12, 2017 4:42 p.m.

Altar of Dementia can be another win con... there is a white enchantment, can't remember the name but it reads "sacrifice a creature: prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn"

July 12, 2017 4:48 p.m.

That new card Torment of Hailfire is another Exsanguinate

July 12, 2017 4:52 p.m.

Smothering Abomination is another Grim Haruspex and Infernal Tribute will let you sac either one of those so you don't kill yourself

July 12, 2017 4:54 p.m.

Karmic Guide + Fiend Hunter + sac outlet is also infinite

July 12, 2017 4:58 p.m.

Smothering Abomination seems like it would be bonkers IMO

Any reason you do run Pitiless Plunderer but no Revel in Riches ? Think Revel will explode as well?

It's fine as another win-con. I just have a heavy treasure focus in my Xantcha deck, and I try not to have duplicate cards between decks. Also I think it would work best in an Academy Rector / Grave Pact / Dictate of Erebos / Martyr's Bond focused build.

I assume the 4 maybe cards are there because they're either too expensive/you don't currently own them? I'm lucky enough to have a Vampiric Tutor If you had to include it in the deck what would you swap out? I'm currently building your deck card for card because I love it so much! I was going to swap it for Diabolic Intent but I wanted to ask the creator/head pilot themself. :)

Spot on with the maybe board, just a more visible acquire board for each deck. Tough call on what to cut for both vamp and protection, at this point it's down to the few cards that aren't either combo pieces or cards that find combo pieces. Ophiomancer and Trading Post are ridiculous value engines, but I think they might get the axe. Tho I could also see it being Phyrexian Plaguelord and Syr Konrad, the Grim as they're a bit expensive cmc-wise for combo pieces while not having much in the way of immediate value.

What are your opinions on Bastion of Remembrance and Luminous Broodmoth from the new set, Ikoria?

May 16, 2020 5:36 p.m.

DudeMan1031 says... #21

Already run enough Blood Artist effects that Bastion seems unnecessary. I like that it's harder for your opp's to deal with, but I dislike that it's a bit harder to recur it. Mothra's great value but you need to run Solemnity to combo off with her. I'd prefer both in a more stax enchantment focused build with Academy Rector/Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos/Martyr's Bond

Great deck, I built my own budget version.
What do you think about cards like Stitcher's Supplier, Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Thug to fill up the graveyard? Since the deck has lots of tutors and is built around GY recursion it might help? And what do you think about Lurrus of the Dream-Den ?

It is weird to call this "Teysa deck" where it has very little to do with her. This deck could had worked with any Black White Commander for color usage, with similar result of infinite life drain using infinite sac and mana. Altars are the ones doing heavy lifting here and walking ballista could had been used in any infinite mana situation. Tutors are just there too find these keys cards, again could had worked with any black deck.
