Aristocrat by UnBaked

Format: Commander

Commander: Teysa Karlov

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teysa Karlov leads an Orzhov aristocrats deck that wins by looping sacrifice and death triggers. Teysa doubles every death trigger and gives tokens vigilance and lifelink, but she is an accelerator, not a requirement. The primary plan assembles a free sacrifice outlet, a recursive creature, a token or treasure generator, and a drain payoff to create infinite death triggers. Pitiless Plunderer and Warren Soultrader act as hidden commanders that turn each death into mana. Secondary paths grind value with Dark Prophecy effects and flood the board with Afterlife and Open the Graves tokens when the combo is disrupted.
