So what if there was a sort of death and taxes splashing black for Teysa, Orzhov Scion to go infinite with Painter's Servant and another sac outlet

3 card combo i know. Maybe too conditional?

Costs lots. Dies to Lightning Bolt. Not a fan.

It would really be bw taxes at heart with more of a combo oriented win though that is a good argument. Bolts are slung like crazy in this meta

Add blue to make esper combo control?

I might be interesting to see a Pod deck with that combo, then it could also be mid range if you can't get the combo to work, sort of like Melira Pod

I mean yeah. I know which cards i would use as the combo. I just wonder which direction a deck like that would go.

What does that combo do? I'm misunderstanding how it would win.

Unlimited flying spirits

APPLE01DOJ says... #11

But don't u have to sac a token to get a token? Or am I missing some sort of Scapeshift tactic?

VampireArmy says... #12

Deep sorry yeah was thinking of something else. To be honest I'm working with half a brain today. I suppose i could just use Bloodsoaked Champion and go off like that? Not unlimited but at least repeatable.

Rocknj06 says... #13

What I was seeing was an unlimited removal game at the beginning of your turn allowing you to swing. If they can't remove your creatures, they kinda can't stop you from winning. As for unlimited flyers, I'm confused as well.

Bw soul sisters with this engine lol

Rocknj06 says... #15

No. no no no. Just no. VampireArmy I refuse.. Keep your ideas from my head, I do not want my deck to evolve into a soulsisters build because right now that is just sounding like the perfect place for this little combo and I really really like my Xathrid Necromancer zombie thing that I got going on.... :P

Blood Artist would finish the game for you.

kintighd says... #17

Also I think esper would be your best build. It'd give you counter spells to protect your creatures, and draw spells to dig.

hmm.. if i understand this correctly:
play Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Painter's Servant (naming black). Now all white creatures are black/white. Sac 3 white creatures to exile target creature, and since they are black as well you will get 3 white spirit tokens. Those tokens are white black because of Painter's Servant and therefore can be saced to repeat this process infinite times, making this a repeatable one sided board wipe. Add Blood Artist to the equation to get infinite life and infinite damage.

I like it :). add Lingering Souls and Raise the Alarm to get the 3 white creatures easier, and maybe a couple of Mentor of the Meek as a card draw engine.. Would be a fun casual deck for sure :)

Something like this: B/W Teysa.

Bloodthrone Vampire gets infinite P/T with Teysa and painter too..

smackjack says... #20

Honor of the Pure makes Teysa, Orzhov Scion unboltable, and Brave the Elements could also be something to run mainboard against removal..

December 21, 2014 1:44 p.m.

APPLE01DOJ says... #21

Athreos, God of Passage in the mix could make things interesting.

AllAroundGeek says... #22

This deck is starting to come together, I really like the idea of a soul sister build with this in it

A legacy version would have access to Darkest Hour, Enlightened Tutor and Diabolic Intent if you want to go all in with the combo. Plunge into Darkness is another card that could be used to find combo pieces in both modern and legacy, and it fits well with a Soul Sisters theme..

VampireArmy says... #24

Legacy ss. I am enticed. I'll combine mechanisms from the zombardment deck :D

December 21, 2014 4:04 p.m.

goinbowlin22 says... #25

These combos are best utilized in a Teysa or Athreos edh deck honestly. DO IT!

December 22, 2014 1:13 a.m.

Hickorysbane says... #26

Honor of the Pure (mentioned to keep Teysa from being bolted) would also be quite useful to turn the tokens into a decent back-up plan.
