Hey, well done on a budget.

Athreos and Plaguecrafter are good, but I don't think the rest of the aristocrat strategy is doing enough. Consider cutting most of it for more pillowfort and hatebears?

• Archon of Emeria
• Aven Mindcensor
• Kinjalli's Sunwing
• Archon of Absolution

An advantage of having more flying hatebears is they can more easily get you back the monarch if an opponent gains control of it.

• Rule of Law
• Bloodthirsty Blade
• Thorn of the Black Rose
• Kunoros, Hound of Athreos
• Ruinous Ultimatum
• Mind Stone
• Talisman of Hierarchy

There's some budget manabase upgrades to consider:

• Battlefield Forge
• Smoldering Marsh
• Path of Ancestry
• Ash Barrens
• Tainted Field

Good luck with your deck.

Hey, have more confidence in your deck building because this is a fine start on a low budget if it's your second deck.

You already have Wonder which is good since it's the card I suggest the most that players add with Varina. My advice is focus more on Zombies and cards that can support Zombie tribal. More Zombies, less nonZombie creatures.

Budget cards all less than $1 each to consider adding:

• Lord of the Accursed
• Wayward Servant
• Etchings of the Chosen
• Midnight Reaper
• Carrion Feeder
• Silversmote Ghoul
• Changeling Outcast: Changelings are Zombies.
• Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant
• Tormod, the Desecrator
• Eternal Taskmaster
• Tomebound Lich
• Binding Mummy
• Corpse Knight

Amass is an effect that creates a Zombie token.

• Gleaming Overseer
• Dreadhorde Invasion
• Vizier of the Scorpion
• Lazotep Plating
• Lazotep Reaver

Consider more cards that require you use life because Varina is a life gaining engine with Zombies.

• Caves of Koilos
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Command the Dreadhorde
• Feed the Swarm
• Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip
• Read the Bones
• Dire Tactics

---

Next step is to add 35 more lands to have a manabase to playtest. Get a temporary manabase in place with basic lands to see how many spots you have left to fill with nonland cards or how many nonland cards to cut. Make sure that basic Swamps are the most lands because you need black mana the most with Zombies.

Some budget lands $1-$2 or less each to consider adding:

• Command Tower
• Unclaimed Territory
• Path of Ancestry
• Exotic Orchard
• Arcane Sanctum
• Caves of Koilos
• Sunken Hollow: Island for Wonder.
• Prairie Stream: Island for Wonder.
• Ice Tunnel: Island for Wonder.
• Irrigated Farmland: Island for Wonder.
• Tainted Field
• Esper Panorama
• Ash Barrens
• Evolving Wilds
• Witch's Cottage

Good luck with your deck.

munchuswewil: Talisman of Hierarchy is perfectly legal in this deck. theres no need to remove it.

Charcoal Diamond Marble Diamond Orzhov Signet are solid relatively cheap (both budget and rocks for your ramping woes.

Talisman of Hierarchy is also fairly budget friendly

Other ramp/ramp adjacent options that aren't necessarily to theme but are in your colours. Pitiless Plunderer, Revel in Riches, Knight of the White Orchid, Kor Cartographer or Crypt Ghast

And just becos it's a card I like that's an angel, Angel of Despair is (albeit very expensive) flexible removal on a body.

Hey, Skullclamp is one of the better repeatable die effects with Teysa since drawing 4 cards each time you equip to a creature for 1 mana is very good value. Skullclamp could replace Wayfarer's Bauble. The maybeboard is packed full of good cards that could be upgrades and there's several budget cards there to consider adding.

• Arcane Signet
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Viscera Seer
• Archon of Justice
• Sun Titan
• Court of Grace
• Demon's Disciple
• Woe Strider
• Solemn Simulacrum
• Kaya's Wrath
• Generous Gift
• High Market
• Tainted Field
• Temple of Silence

These cards could replace:

• Vivid Marsh
• Vivid Meadow
• Orzhov Guildgate
• Gavony Unhallowed
• Dauntless Cathar
• Voracious Null
• Unruly Mob
• Countless Gears Renegade
• Thallid Omnivore
• Bone Splinters
• Elixir of Immortality
• Fellwar Stone
• Thallid Soothsayer

Other good budget cards with Teysa: Dark Prophecy, Midnight Reaper, Dreadhorde Invasion, Victimize, Ministrant of Obligation, Marauding Blight-Priest, Path of Ancestry, Witch's Cottage, Esper Panorama, Ash Barrens.

Good luck with your deck.

Corpse Knight synergizes nicely with the Thalisse you already have.

I'd remove Anointed Procession. Teysa as your commander does the same and more.

You could use more ramp and adding Talisman of Hierarchy, Jet Medallion and Pearl Medallion would help

Ashen Rider is overcosted for what it does. I suggest removing it.

You should add Cruel Celebrant, Bastion of Remembrance and Vindictive Vampire.

First thing I notice is you are lacking in ramp.

If you can add more basic plains then it would be worth adding Keeper of the Accord.

Additionally I'd add Jet Medallion, Pearl Medallion, Smothering Tithe, Arcane Signet Talisman of Hierarchy and possibly Dark Ritual.

Bolas's Citadel might be something to consider and if you aren't budget Mana Crypt.

So, Whip of Erebos has a neat interaction with this guy ;) really smashed me back when I use to play standard. Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares and Generous Gift are mainstays in any deck running white. Lastly, Mind Stone, Fellwar Stone, Talisman of Hierarchy and Orzhov Signet are all prime mana rocks for relatively cheap.
