Teysa, Orzhov Scion by fortune317

Format: Commander

Commander: Teysa, Orzhov Scion

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov aristocrats deck wins by turning every death into life drain. The primary plan builds a board of cheap token makers like Bitterblossom and Ophiomancer, sac outlets like Carrion Feeder and Phyrexian Altar, and drainers such as Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant and Elas il-Kor, then sacrifices repeatedly for incremental damage doubled by Teysa Karlov and Delney. Secondary paths use Tombstone Stairwell with Funeral Room for recurring upkeep drains, or infinite loops with Darkest Hour, Nether Traitor and Phyrexian Altar. Teysa, Orzhov Scion acts as removal and Spirit generator, while Teysa Karlov is the hidden commander that doubles all death triggers.
