The Beautiful People by Waiatto

Format: Commander

Commander: Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts leads a slow Orzhov value pile that wins through attrition rather than speed. The main plan is to stock the battlefield with Spirit and Clue tokens via the Courts, Teysa variants, and sacrifice outlets, then drain with Cruel Celebrant or overwhelm with Cathars' Crusade. The cleanest deterministic win is Approach of the Second Sun, fetched by Diabolic Tutor or Beseech the Queen. Teysa herself acts as a defensive removal engine and an unblockable commander-damage threat once equipped with Inquisitor's Flail. The real engine is Teysa, Orzhov Scion, whose death triggers multiply the token strategy, making the Envoy the deck's name but not its heart.
