Deck overview

This is a slow, grindy Orzhov control/attrition deck helmed by Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts. The game plan is to blank creature combat with a dense board-wipe suite, accumulate life through extort, Vizkopa Guildmage, and Sorin, Grim Nemesis, then close the game with a massive Exsanguinate or Debt to the Deathless, or with a True Conviction-powered combat step. A two-card infinite combo - Guilty Conscience on Stuffy Doll - offers an alternate instant win. Teysa herself is a defensive speed bump (protection from creatures, destroy-on-hit, Spirit tokens) rather than a build-around engine, and the deck functions fine without her. Mana amplification from Cabal Coffers and Crypt Ghast fuels the big X-spells, while Armageddon + Faith's Reward provides a land-denial blowout.
