Considering how high your mana curve is, I'd add more lands. Eiganjo Castle, Flagstones of Trokair, Marsh Flats, etc.

Also, if this is voltron, there's not really enough voltron and too many creatures for that, in my opinion.

Still looks cool though!

may be to slow, try Assault Suit, or just go to Gatherer and search Text: Can't be Sacrificed, Colors:B/W and see what you get.

I can't figure out what this deck is trying to do. Some of it seems to be voltron, but you don't have enough tutors. Then it seems to be BW life gain/drain, but there isn't much.

I think you need to focus this deck into a more streamlined idea, it seems too scattered to be consistent right now.

Angel of Jubilation is your best option.

Teysa is just too awesome as a general

Hi! Don't let people make you feel bad for your choice of general. I think Teysa is awesome too, and her abilities make her an interesting choice for a voltron strategy.

Cards I'd recommend:

Stonehewer Giant: basically a second Stoneforge Mystic.
Quietus Spike: Nasty, since Teysa won't be blocked. Also makes her a better blocker.
Grafted Exoskeleton: Same as Quietus Spike. Depends on how your playgroup feels about infect, I guess.
Scythe of the Wretched: Stealing creatures is awesome. Good for deterring attacks.
Deathrender: Makes a good deterrent to killing Teysa, since opponents won't want to give you another creature for free.
Loxodon Warhammer/Basilisk Collar/Celestial Mantle: if you want to play up the lifegain aspect.

I like to play a wide selection of equipment instead of a bunch of tutors, since it gives you more variety.

thanks nosohryuforyou i really love playing this Teysa deck, she is a very fun commander, and like you said, without the tutors the deck plays out differently every time.

I took a few of your suggestions and added them to my maybe's list. Stonehewer Giant was already there, and the only reason i don't have Deathrender, and Quietus Spike in here is because i have them in another deck, The Drowned God...

I really like all of the life gain equipment and will seriously think about putting them in. And the only reason i'll never add in Grafted Exoskeleton, while i agree it would be great in here, my playgroup really hates playing infect, and mill, and i already have a mill deck that they hate The Art of Drowning.

Thanks again.

Looking at this list again, I have a few more changes to suggest:
Darksteel Ingot -> Chromatic Lantern
Orzhov Keyrune -> Coalition Relic
Pristine Talisman -> Gilded Lotus
Death Grasp -> Exsanguinate
Platinum Angel -> Debtors' Knell
