Increasing Devotion

Sorcery

Create five 1/1 white Human creature tokens. If Increasing Devotion was cast from a graveyard, create ten of those tokens instead.

Flashback (You may cast this card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. Then exile it.)

My group hasn't started our league games yet... but in my tinkering with this same deck, I don't think the deck itself was made for Elsha, which might be why you and they both ran into issues closing out games?

I have to say that many of my games were finished off by doing a flashback of Increasing Devotion , even more so if that was combined with Increasing Vengeance

Getting 40 tokens is a lot of power when it comes to the precons. Hard to answer, especially with the reduced number of sweeper effects. I feel like out of the box, it's still hard, but Sevinne has more ability to close out a game than Elsha does.

I'd trade out Exsanguinate and put in a Debt to the Deathless . I run it over Exsanguinate in my Teysa because I don't mainboard my Darkest Hour and it helps me close out games still. So even if your Darkest Hour is getting countered/exiled/whatever you can have an easier time winning with that. If you slap a Illusionist's Bracers on your Vizkopa Guildmage it makes this even more insane. And Bracers is also already good on Teysa trading 3 tokens for 2 creatures rather than 1. Say you spend 7 mana on Debt, 3 on Vizkopa with Bracers, with 3 opponents in the game. That's 3 on Debt for 6 life but you'll gain 18 then Vizkopa activates twice and they lose 36. That's 42 life loss to each opponent. It can also work well whenever you gain a lot of life in a turn like Soul Warden and a token dump.

I would run Carnival of Souls since you already have Soul Warden and Soul's Attendant and if both are out, it's free black mana whenever creatures hit.
I'd trade a boardwipe for Merciless Eviction because it can handle indestructible and hexproof creatures with exile. The only downside is worrying about a counterspell. Also, maybe Storm Herd in place of Increasing Devotion ? I don't know how fast the decks you play against are but if you mana ramp enough Storm Herd usually has more value. Also consider Black Market for mana ramp in a Teysa deck.

I know I'm suggesting a lot but wanted you to consider some of your options, I know some of my suggestions don't really have something directly to take out with them. This deck seems very good and competitive I'd say.

Hey, thanks for the comment o/

Really Sigarda is a great commander for humans xD.

So, as for the cards, i considered Radiant Destiny over Vanquisher's Banner for its mana cost, but i really wanted to test the last because of the draw i have whenever i cast a human, but i'm willing to test Radiant Destiny to see if its better because of its early mana cost.

Oketra's Monument is there xD, the others are really good, but i don't have them at hand, ones i would definitely put are the Skullclamp , Champion of Lambholt and Increasing Devotion .

I did some modifications ( Haazda Marshal for Odric, Master Tactician and Impassioned Orator for Fiend Hunter ) but didn't tested yet, and i'm waiting for Thraben Doomsayer , Champion of the Parish and Mother of Runes , no idea what card i'll take off the deck for them xD.

As for Sword of the Animist , i really liked it because it's a mana machine both for the early as for the late game, it saved me when i got no mana. Tamiyo's Journal is a machine of draws and it helps being practically a tutor for a clue based deck (as i kind of tried to do but not enought xD), a late card but it played well.

Hope it helps o/

Hey bud! Nice deck! I also love Sigarda and her Human Interaction! Some relatively cheap cards that will go a long way are:

Cathars' Crusade Radiant Destiny Oketra's Monument Skullclamp Overwhelming Stampede Increasing Devotion Elder of Laurels Champion of Lambholt

I am curious though, I've considered but have not run Sword of the Animist and Tamiyo's Journal , how do they play out for you?

ZendikariWol, I think Sevinne, the Chronoclasm is actually really fun.

To start, it combos with one of my favorite cards from last year's set, Reality Scramble , IDK how good that is, but it'd be a blast.

For real value, I think the deck looks to be a graveyard value control deck. Maybe a bit of prison, considering how you can become 'immortal' by enchanting Sevinne, the Chronoclasm with a Pariah , or equipping it with a Pariah's Shield .

Swiftfoot Boots , Champion's Helm , etc. to protect it, then abuse it's ability to combo with Flashback, like Deep Analysis , jumpstart like Chemister's Insight , retrace like Oona's Grace , and aftermath like Refuse / Cooperate

Total, there are a lot of good spells to abuse with it:

Flashback -

Cackling Counterpart

Deep Analysis

Desperate Ravings

Echo of Eons

Faithless Looting

Firebolt

Increasing Devotion

Increasing Vengeance

Mystic Retrieval

Past in Flames

Recoup

Scour All Possibilities

Think Twice

Jump-Start -

Quasiduplicate

Radical Idea

Beacon Bolt

Chemister's Insight

Risk Factor

Retrace -

Oona's Grace

Reality Scramble

Call the Skybreaker

Aftermath -

Leave / Chance

Failure / Comply

Farm / Market

Reduce / Rubble

Refuse / Cooperate

Support:

Mission Briefing

Snapcaster Mage

Quiet Speculation

Runic Repetition

Catalyst Stone

That's all I can think of right now, if I remember any more sweet cards with Sevinne, I'll tell you!

Desperate Rites

Instant

Reveal the top four cards of your library. You lose life equal to their total CMC. Then put those cards into your hand. Then an opponent looks at your hand and chooses one, discard that card.

I'd like an Increasing Cycle for Multicolored:

Increasing Devotion

Increasing Confusion

Increasing Ambition

Increasing Vengeance

Increasing Savagery

Increasing Devotion is really fun in this deck. Liliana, Dreadhorde General gives me Krav fodder. Living Death is good recursion. Another fun card would be Oath of Lieges . If you want fast tokens and some fun stuff - Parhelion II . I think Reya Dawnbringer could be good in this deck. I do like this a lot - it is not my style but this is clearly well thought out.

If you want to see how I built them, check out my Forbidden Love deck.

Not going to lie, I would really hate to go against this deck when it gets going. It is as you said though, I would recommend adding cards that would let you draw more. I'm not entirely sure of some cards like that as I'm more of a dimir or mono green edh player myself. On some card suggestions though, I'm not sure why you have grand Coliseum or turnished Citadel. If you're using them for white mana, I'd recommend just using plains or something that doesn't damage you. I do understand the damage dealt is completely negligible, personally I'd just avoid it altogether. Now some cards I would recommend based on this set up are; Congregate , Serra's Guardian , Divine Visitation because why have humans when you can have Angels? Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , Increasing Devotion , Angelic Accord , Angel's Feather , Ajani's Pridemate , and Haazda Marshal . Like I said, I'd personally would be interested and also hate myself for going against it when you start gaining life
