THIS IS OUT OF DATE

This deck has a pretty storied history for me! My very first commander deck was a mono-green Rishkar, Peema Renegade ramp-themed EDH deck. It wasn't quite for me, so I bought Selenia, Dark Angel | The Commander's Quarters and gave it a go. I loved the combo aspect, but it wasn't effective in my local playgroup. From there, it transitioned to Vona, Butcher of Magan control, and then Elenda, the Dusk Rose vampire-tribal. THEN, finally, when Ravnica Allegiance spoiled Teysa Karlov I knew immediately that I wanted to build her. So Elenda was broken in two, with my Orzhov token and sacrifice tech finding a home with Teysa, and the vampire tribal cards moving in with Edgar Markov.

After many many updates, upgrades, and reworks, I've reached this currently finished state. There're cards I'd love to put in, but either haven't wanted to pay for yet or haven't figured out the right place.

Planned Upgrades/Replacements

I'd like to cut back on some of the recursion, increase a bit of the draw package, and also include some stack interaction to protect my plays and to stop other people from winning the game.

• Lapse of Certainty

• Silence

• Mana Tithe

• Grand Abolisher

• Abeyance

• Orim's Chant

• Angel's Grace

Some of these, I have direct replacements I'd like to make, some will take some planning.

• Vampiric Tutor (Replacing Grim Tutor)

• Mana Confluence (Replacing Shambling Vent)

• Marsh Flats

• Athreos, God of Passage

• Sifter of Skulls

The plan with this deck is nothing innovative or special. The goal is to stay alive by generating tokens for defensive and eventually draining people to death using Blood Artist-style effects. Beating face is also an option, as many of the token-generating effects create flyers, and Divine Visitation makes them large enough to terrify.

Most games, swinging for lethal or sacrificing enough tokens with Blood Artists around will close things out, but in case it doesn't, there're a suite of infinite combos. My philosophy with infinite combos in non-cEDH games is that every piece of the combo should be useful outside the combo.

Combos

Combo #1: Pitiless Plunderer + Reassembling Skeleton + Sac Outlet

• This allows me to loop this sacrifice any number of times, if I have Teysa out. With Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar it also generates either infinite mana or infinite treasure tokens.

Combo #2: Divine Visitation + Requiem Angel

• This enables an infinite sacrifice of the Angel token that's generated by turning Requiem's spirit into an angel.

Combo #3: Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle + Any Creature That Dies and Makes a Token

• If the creature sacrificed to Ashnod's generates a token on-death, I can also sac that token to pay for Nim, and then repeat the whole thing over again! Whoo!

Current Proxies

Stuff I still need to buy, mostly a note for myself.

• Heliod's Intervention

• Grave Pact

• Dictate of Erebos

• Some kinda fancier Terramorphic Expanse
