Teysa Aristocrats I by kafermas

Format: Commander

Commander: Teysa Karlov

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is a classic Orzhov aristocrats build helmed by Teysa Karlov, leveraging her ability to double all death triggers. The primary game plan is to generate a constant flow of creature tokens, sacrifice them to outlets like Viscera Seer, and drain the table via Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, and similar effects. Teysa Karlov doubles each drain trigger, rapidly accelerating the clock. Secondary win conditions include massive life-drain spells like Exsanguinate and Gray Merchant of Asphodel, the Sanguine Bond / lifegain-drain package, and token swarms that can attack with vigilance and lifelink. The deck is highly synergistic, with every creature, token, and sacrifice outlet feeding the same attrition engine.
