Commander: Teysa Karlov

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teysa Karlov leads an Orzhov Aristocrats combo deck that turns creature deaths into mana, cards, and life loss. The primary plan is to land a sacrifice outlet and a drain effect, then loop Gravecrawler with Phyrexian Altar to generate infinite death triggers; Teysa doubles each Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat trigger. Karmic Guide + Reveillark provides a second reanimation loop when the graveyard route is available, and Teysa, Orzhov Scion acts as a de facto second commander, enabling similar loops and offering repeatable exile. The deck can also pivot to grinding through token sacrifice, Skullclamp draw, and value drains when it cannot assemble a combo. No hidden commander is needed; the creatures themselves are the engine.
