Teysa Karlov Grok by UnBaked

Format: Commander

Commander: Teysa Karlov

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Teysa Karlov leads an Orzhov aristocrats grind that doubles every death trigger and gives all tokens vigilance and lifelink. The primary plan is to build value through death triggers (Field of Souls, Hallowed Spiritkeeper, Ministrant of Obligation, Teysa, Orzhov Scion) and board wipes that refill your hand, then close with the Exquisite Blood + Epicure of Blood lifegain loop where any lifegain causes infinite opponent drain. Secondary paths are combat with Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Hallowed Spiritkeeper tokens or Revel in Riches Treasures, and Tombstone Stairwell zombie floods. Teysa is the engine, not the combo piece; Teysa, Orzhov Scion acts as a hidden commander that converts black deaths into flying Spirits and provides repeatable exile.
