**This deck is no longer being played/upgraded. I realized this deck is not powerful or competitive enough and decided to rebuild Teysa into a Voltron deck. You can check out my Teysa Voltron deck here.

I was going for a budget version of the Black/white Commander deck inspired by TheManaSource Teysa deck. Any advice is welcome.

The strategy behind this deck is to discourage anyone from attacking, or punish them if they do, by getting Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker, enchantments such as Ghostly Prison, Righteous Cause , and Alhammarret's Archive out. However I will point out, the more I play and edit/improve this deck, my play style has shifted from just being a deterrence to passively dealing damage to all players regardless if they are attacking me while I stack lifelink.

Win conditions include the Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond combo, making Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts untouchable, Exsanguinate, and Debt to the Deathless.

There are several ways to remove, or lockdown, an opponents commander to include: Utter End, Return to Dust, Darksteel Mutation and Arrest.

In addition, I can beef up Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts quite a bit if need be by casting Nim Deathmantle , Spear of Heliod, Gift of Immortality , or equipping her with Swiftfoot Boots.

Lastly, I was running into a mana wall and needed ways to generate or fetch. I was considering swapping in Thawing Glaciers to help with this and swapping out Liliana Vess for Liliana of the Dark Realms .
