WIP Aristocrats Teysa deck. Deck works off value sacrificing different cards like Nether Traitor or Reassembling Skeleton while having something that can generate tokens like Pawn of Ulamog to sacrifice to Phyrexian Altar to go infinite mana and death triggers. Has Teysa Karlov at the helm to benefit from effects from cards like Massacre Wurm or Dictate of Erebos while things are dying. Threw in a spicy tech card by the name of Thrilling Encore to play to either assist in going infinite or to steal everyones creatures that die to making them sac all of them.

Initial Concerns of Deck

Decks been put together after playing it online a little bit. Main concern at the moment is generally Dark Prophecy which without using removal on my own card will likely mill or kill me before I can kill other players. Also found a Tenacious Dead while finding cards in bulk commons/uncommons which might make the cut as another sac outlet for infinite. Will be taking this to Commander pods on the weekend to see how this deck feels against a high control meta.

First Night

Went against: Krenko, Mob Boss (0-1), Wort, the Raidmother (1-2), and Lord Windgrace (0-1). Lost to Krenko turn 6 due to not handling early game. Went 1-2 against Wort not being able to handle deal with Artifact/Land removal and going wide with Avenger of Zendikar . Went 0-1 against Windgrace because couldn't deal with Omnath, Locus of Rage shenanigans. Main thing noticed right away was lack of mass removal really hindered the deck when going against go wide strats. Need to put in removal like Austere Command , Kaya's Wrath , and Martial Coup for go wide strats. Will likely remove cards such as Gemstone Array and maybe Sword of the Animist .
