Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teysa Karlov commands an Orzhov aristocrats engine designed to drain all opponents simultaneously through death triggers. The primary strategy establishes a tripartite engine consisting of disposable creature fodder, a free sacrifice outlet, and blood artist drain effects. Teysa acts as a force multiplier by doubling every creature death trigger, turning modest sacrifice turns into lethal table-wide life swings. Secondary paths include heavy graveyard recursion via Ascend from Avernus and Rally the Ancestors to replay spent boards for massive burst damage, as well as card-advantage engines powered by Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and Skullclamp that systematically deplete opposing boards with Grave Pact effects.
