Teysa 2019

The deck aims to be casual and able to play with newer players. Most combos need 4 cards, and this list should be less frustrating to play against than Baral since these combos can be easily interrupted.

Sac Outlets:

• Ashnod's Altar
• Phyrexian Altar
• Carrion Feeder
• Viscera Seer
• Cartel Aristocrat
• Yahenni, Undying partisan

With Teysa/Anointed Procession out:

• Pawn of Ulamog turns any sac outlet for nontokens into Ashnod's Altar
• Pitiless Plunderer Turns any sac outlet into Ashnod's Altar that makes colored mana
• Requiem Angel turns any creature into an Afterlife 2 creature

Combos

1. Teysa + Cathodion + Sac Outlet + Nim Deathmantle = Infinite Mana
2. Teysa + Kokusho + Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle = Kill table with 6 mana
3. Teysa/Anointed Procession + Enduring Renewal + Doomed Traveler + Phyrexian Altar = Infinite Mana
4. Teysa/Anointed Procession + Requiem Angel + Divine Visitation + Sac Outlet = Infinite Angels
5. Teysa/Anointed Procession + Doomed Traveler/Creates tokens on death-etb + Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle = Infinite Mana and Tokens
6. Teysa + Cathodion + Enduring Renewal + Sac Outlet = Infinite Mana
7. Ministrant of Obligation/Wurmcoil + Ashnod's Altar + Nim Deathmantle = Infinite Mana and Tokens
8. Ministrant of Obligation + Enduring Renewal + Phyrexian Altar = Infinite ETB/Death triggers
9. Sun Titan + Animate Dead + Karmic Guide + Sac Outlet = Infinite Sac Outlet triggers

Karmic Guide loop explained

1. Sun Titan's ability triggers, you target and return Animate Dead.

1. Animate Dead enters the battlefield enchanting Karmic Guide in the graveyard. Animate Dead's ability that will bring Karmic Guide to the battlefield triggers.

2. With that ability on the stack, you sacrifice Sun Titan with your Seer (Sun Titan must already be in the graveyard when Karmic Guide enters the battlefield, since you choose the target for her ability as soon as it is placed on the stack).

3. Animate Dead's ability resolves and you return Karmic Guide. Her ability triggers. Animate Dead fails to attach itself to the Guide since she has Protection from Black, so it goes in the graveyard thanks to state-based actions. Its ability asking you to sacrifice the creature it returned triggers.

4. Sun Titan enters the battlefield with Animate Dead and Karmic Guide in the graveyard, so you're free to rinse and repeat.

Most of these combos can use other cards to do the same thing. For example in combo 3 if there is a Pitiless Plunderer in play, the sac outlet can instead be anything. You can also use Cathodion with Enduring Renewal for infinite mana as well.
