Death and Tokens | Budget by Ioun

Format: Commander

Commander: Teysa Karlov

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Teysa Karlov doubles every death trigger and gives your tokens vigilance and lifelink, turning a low-curve Orzhov aristocrats deck into a steady drain engine. You sacrifice cheap fodder and recursive creatures like Reassembling Skeleton and Bloodsoaked Champion to outlets such as Viscera Seer and Ashnod's Altar, triggering Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant and Corpse Knight for doubled life loss. Reveillark plus Karmic Guide with any free sac outlet loops infinitely, and Pitiless Plunderer plus Ashnod's Altar creates infinite mana and deaths. Teysa amplifies but does not gate the plan; Pitiless Plunderer and Reveillark act as hidden commanders, while Archon of Emeria and Deafening Silence provide a secondary stax lock.
