** 1/12 UPDATE ** —Jan. 12, 2020

Large-is update

Officially changed the commander from Teysa, Orzhov Scion -> Teysa Karlov. While I enjoy Teysa, Orzhov Scion being a reliable combo piece, I feel that the upside of Teysa Karlov is better overall, and she deserves to be the commander.

Swamp -> Witch's Cottage. The cottage is just a nice new land that I have had for several months now.

Nether Traitor -> Priest of Forgotten Gods. This is yet another sac outlet (although a fairly costly one), but gives two mana and card advantage.

Faith's Reward -> Vindictive Vampire. Faith's Reward just didn't see enough play for me despite it being an instant, and the overall CMC tradeoff is nearly the same, just switched in color.

Sengir Autocrat -> Revel in Riches. While I enjoy the token generation with Autocrat, I feel like I'm ready to give Revel in Riches another shot.

Soul Warden -> Elenda, the Dusk Rose. This is probably the only choice that I'm slightly questioning. The CMC tradeoff is considerable, but Elenda is yet another thing that benefits from sacs, so.. yep, she's back for the time being.

Unearth -> Generous Gift. This might be a mistake, but we'll see. Unearth is really, really good I think, but I just didn't see it enough, so I'm trying out my favorite newer removal spell in it's place.

Gravepurge -> Forever Young. Forever Young gets the edge here for me, despite it being a sorcery. It makes the cut for it's CMC. It would be exceedingly better at instant speed, however. We'll see how it works out.
