Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aristocrats combo-control strategy led by Teysa Karlov. It seeks to control the early game using targeted exile removal, asymmetric stax pieces like Drannith Magistrate and Opposition Agent, and efficient board sweepers. While establishing board control, it deploys sacrifice outlets, death-trigger drainers, and self-recurring creatures. The primary win condition is a deterministic infinite drain combo using Warren Soultrader, Gravecrawler, and a drain piece like Blood Artist, which drains the entire table in a single turn. Teysa Karlov acts as a force multiplier by doubling all death triggers and giving lifelink and vigilance to creature tokens. The deck also carries backup infinite combos such as Exquisite Blood with Epicure of Blood, as well as strong combat drain lines with Elenda, the Dusk Rose and The Meathook Massacre.
