Afterlife Insurance
Instant
Creatures you control gain afterlife 1 until end of turn. Draw a card. (When a creature with afterlife 1 dies, create a 1/1 white and black Spirit creature token with flying.)

Crow_Umbra I haven't had a chance to playtest Wake the Dead yet but I have always wanted to find a good home for Inkshield so I'll have to test it and see how it plays, great suggestions as always.
Afterlife Insurance and Ophiomancer are at the top of my switch in list, as of now I'm on the side of extra fodder because the decks needs a lot to work. Your Gorgussy deck was also great inspo for some exciting group drain triggers!

Thank you for reaching out Tsukimi, I hope you're well.
Teysa is a classic, and it looks like you've got a really solid foundation going so far, especially utilizing KibaAlpha's deck as a primer.
You have a decent chunk of the cards I was going to recommend either already in your deck, or in your Maybe Board. Maybe you could swap a couple of your redundant 1 or 2 drops for something like Afterlife Insurance, Bloodghast, Ophiomancer, or Warren Soultrader.
I do like the inclusion of Wake the Dead as a cheeky means of getting some of your little goons back for some more death triggers. Maybe you could consider swapping it for Inkshield? I imagine you would probably be paying a pretty similar rate with Wake the Dead, in terms of mana spent, a lot of the time. Could be a more effective means of blanking aggro damage at you, and also setting yourself up with a bunch of tokens to either dome somebody or chuck into one of your aristocrats engines. It's definitely more pricey compared to Wake the Dead.

My friend, let me introduce you to Afterlife Insurance... I have a feeling you two will get along nicely! (note: it doesn't say non-token)

Hi Halestor19 & Masterful
First of all thank you very much for the detailed primer Masterful, it was really helpful to understand Teysa Aristocrat and how to play it.
I tried a few of the new cards from MKM and Fallout and these are my thoughts:
Feral Ghoul: This might be a wincon, but I have two issues with the card. If you can’t get it big enough to give everyone enough rad counters to kill them, this won’t have a big impact on the game (depending on the amount of rad counters) or worst case you just fuel their graveyards which could enable graveyard strategies. Besides that, even if you manage to put a huge amount of rad counters on them, it still takes a full turn cycle to kill all of them which allows them to interact with you before they die. I didn‘t put it in my deck.
Delney, Streetwise Lookout: I playtested it for a while because it sounds so sweet. Not only does it add an additional death trigger on most of out creatures, it also doubles every other trigger (ETBs and so on). Nevertheless, I cutted it because it’s a typical win more card - it is good if you already have a board state established or if you have additional creatures that have ETB trigger. But most of the time there were better play options for me and when I was behind it basically is a dead draw.
Afterlife Insurance: This card is awesome. The amount of fodder you generate with it is unbelievable since with Teysa in play the creatures we give afterlife will spawn 2 spirits. You don’t need to go infinite with this deck to win, you just need a few creatures and this card.

Yo Masterful , Foster_I_Am
I have been testing a couple cards. I really like Feral Ghoul as a potential win con if you can’t get your drainers out. I feel it as a cheaper Elenda, the Dusk Rose. Not the same, I know, but still something that is working. All we need are 10 death triggers to give them 44 rad counters when it dies with teysa out. Could mean death, and usually is.
I haven’t tried Afterlife Insurance yet but it seems like the nail in the coffin if we have the board state. Wouldn’t know what to cut it for though.
I have tried Omarthis, Ghostfire Initiate but haven’t actually used it to do anything. I played like 6 games with the card. Maybe not enough play testing.
I really like the idea of Delney, Streetwise Lookout doubling everything if our commander is indisposed.
Those are my ideas for improvements.

Afterlife Insurance may very well be the pièce de résistance for every Teysa Karlov pilot from the moment it's released until the sun burns out.

Hey Masterful, congratulations on the list, it's not easy to find something at the right power level and that gets updated with every release like this deck. With the new Ravnica: Clue Edition set, they are going to print Afterlife Insurance, which seems pretty busted for our deck, what do you think?
