Budget: *<20 $ pr. card

Aristocrats, one of my favorite playstyles and While I do love Golgari, Orzhov was my first love in the game. I was a huge fan of the Extort at the time and I will have some of that in here, but not a lot.
The new Teysa commander card from Ravnica Allegiance, Teysa Karlov is pretty good, probably better than her original Teysa, Orzhov Scion version and for sure better than Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts which actually was one of the first commanders I ever bought, where I was intoduced to the Extort mechanic. I didn't know about the commander format at the time, I just thought "sweet, a pack with 100 cards in them, I might be able to build a pretty good 60 card deck out of this for kitchen table magic". My only problem with Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is her mana cost, I do like everything else about her. But this new one is just really good. all the death triggers will trigger twice, making the aristocrats playstyle really good here. the only thing that would make her more effective is if she was Abzan instead, but we will make due without green. Now, keep in mind, this is budget build, even if Phyrexian Tower would be a sweet include. So the deck can always be improved upon with more money.
I do suggest Phyrexian Tower as your first upgrade to this deck if your budget allows it. I have included a couple of low budget cards in the maybe board that you can switch out for the most expensive cards here if your budget is slightly lower than mine. Bloodghast is around 18 $ and Athreos, God of Passage is around 16, but I wouldn't suggest taking him out, but you can make due without Bloodghast , just put Paladin of the Bloodstained or Pawn of Ulamog in instead. the planeswalkers are here to make tokens for saccing, and potential removal should it be needed. Don't expect to get to ult them, but if you get the chance you may do so. but that is not why they are here, its more for their +1 ability.
Suggestions on improvement are always welcomed of course. I do realise the mana curve is a bit up and down, I guess that is the biggest problem I see here, besides the lack of card draw, which I have sacrificed on purpose with this build, I only have Skullclamp for card draw. I hope you enjoy the deck.
