Teysa orzhov scion infinite loop?

Deck Help forum

Posted on Feb. 4, 2013, 5:19 p.m. by stoopidhead27

Im trying to make my guild pact Orzhov deck capitalize on Teysa's ability to sacrifice three white creatures to exile target creature and her second ability, which gives you a white spirit whenever a black creature dies. Specifically, I'm looking for a card that can add black to my spirits, making them black/white and capable of creating an infinite creature removal loop. I already know about painter's servant, a cheaper solution would be appreciated. Black or white only.

Darkest Hour is the card for which you're looking.

card:Painter's Servant is banned in EDH, anyway.

Do note that Darkest Hour overrides all the creatures' other colors. This will shut down Teysa's other ability, and you will need to use something like Blasting Station to win.

Any cards that would just add a color? Darkest Hour has value in the deck, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Beckon Apparition , while it is the only black/white spirit producer, has a maximum yield of one spirit.

Yeah, Beckon Apparition loses its value in EDH. I'm actually making an EDH with Teysa, decided to put a Moonsilver Spear , as well as add Oyobi, Who Split the Heavens , so I can get a shitload of white tokens, so I don't need to worry about not having enough cards do sacrifice!

Growing Ranks is fun, but slow. There is an 'increasing' card that puts white humans into play (Increasing Devotion ). If you are going to have tons of white weenies, you may want to add Hand of Justice to your EDH deck for creature control.

@malfeischylde I don't think Growing Ranks can be put in a Teysa EDH 'cause it's a green-white card, and I don't think Hand of Justice will do much in your deck, 'cause it's pretty much useless because of Teysa.

Growing Ranks can't be used in a Tesya edh deck, but Hand of Justice is a decent Teysa stand-in. He doesn't kill your creatures.

@Krayhaft: Oh yeah, you can just tap three white creatures to destroy a creature and then sacrifice the same three tapped creatures to destroy another one... Haven't thought of that
