Deck overview

This Orzhov Aristocrats combo deck uses Teysa, Orzhov Scion at the helm to turn creature death triggers into game-winning infinite loops. Supported by high-density fast mana and elite black tutors, the deck aims to assemble a three-piece loop using Teysa, a color-shifting effect such as Darkest Hour or Painter's Servant, and a free sacrifice outlet like Blasting Station or Phyrexian Altar. When Darkest Hour is active, every dying creature triggers Teysa to produce a 1/1 Spirit token that enters as a black creature, generating endless death and enter-the-battlefield triggers. Secondary win conditions include Bolas's Citadel storm lines and high-velocity Ad Nauseam sequences. While running cEDH-level acceleration and tutors, the deck retains some slower high-power staples like Crypt Ghast and Phyrexian Arena. It uses silence creatures and stax pieces to defend its Turn 4 finish window.
