Nunu312 on Orzhov Spirit Tokens

4 months ago

Love a good spirit deck, and nice to see a new commander doing it!

I think you've got some great cards in there that probably don't work as well as you want them to. Luminous Angel is incredibly expensive for a 4/4 flyer that might generate 2-3 tokens. By the time you put it down that's just not a relevant amount. Oyobi, Who Split the Heavens Is in very much the same boat. Because it only happens on casting, it can at most happen 5 times, as that's the amount of spirits you have to cast (and you have no arcane spells). Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Is a fantastic card but can occasionally create friction at the table. I don't necessarily suggest that you cut it, but do consider it. It can easily create an environment where some people are unable to play their decks at all until it is delt with.

A bit of the same but Long-Forgotten Gohei definitely fits, but you only have 6 spirit spells and no arcane spells, so you're only using half of it. Etchings of the Chosen is the same price but has an extra ability. You may just want to run both though?

The first thing for additions are the token doublers. These will really help you capitalise on your commander as they will act upon each instance. So instead of casting Triplicate Spirits and getting a rather underwhelming 3, you instead get 6. Then at the end of turn you get another 6... only this is doubled as well, instead of 3, you get 18.Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Anointed Procession are the standouts here, although they are pretty pricy in real world dollars.

Overall though, I feel your ways of generating tokens is very on theme, but not very sustainable. A key thing that you might have missed is that your commander generate spirits for each tokens you make, not spirit tokens. So Collector's Vault, makes a treasure token, free spirit. You have a huge amount of ways to make tokens but a lot of them are humans or other some such (Call the Coppercoats, Martial Coup) so they may not be on brand. Look into ways you can make those one or two treasure / clue / food tokens as you just otherwise play normally.

A conspicuous absence is any of the Teysas. Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is expensive but fun. Teysa, Opulent Oligarch is much cheaper and synergises VERY well with your commander. Teysa, Orzhov Scion requires a bit more of the black/white spirits, but might still work very well. Teysa Karlov doesn't synergise super well, but has good abilities regardless and certainly isn't a bad pick. The Kaya planeswalkers also often deal with white black spirits as well as having a bit of control so they might be good to look at Kaya the Inexorable being the standout.

another fun card that is changed entirely by your commander Afterlife Insurance and having any method of sacrificing your spirits changes it from just saving those spirits, to doubling their amount. It would go well with Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, but that starts to lean more into aristocrats than pure spirit tokens.

Another thing is that a lot of white ramp works well with bounce or sac land, you've got the obvious one but you might be able to increase it with Lotus Fieldfoil and Lotus Vale. Things like Land Tax is a staple for white, but even when you're just running Priest of the Blessed Graf they can help you make him work.

My final point is that you don't seem to have a good way of protecting your quite expensive commander. Your group might not place that big an emphasis on commanders, but it's more fun if she sticks around. There are the old standouts of Lightning Greavesfoil and Swiftfoot Boots, but there are a lot of options.

Hey sorry for the short first post did it right before sleep. And thanks Crow_Umbra for getting that Isshin info to Merk-A-Do. I have a few other suggestions that I think will help the deck. Personally I would consider dropping both Public Thoroughfare and Exotic Orchard for something like Vault of the Archangel or maybe Westvale Abbey  Flip for one of those 2 and Myriad Landscape for the other. The reason being that even though you are 3 colors the Orchard could potentially only tap for a green or blue which is little to no use to you. As for the Thoroughfare it both enters the battlefield tapped and you have to pay something to it which will slow you down just a bit more, and that could cost you a precious turn.

I am also confused as to why you have Krenko, Mob Boss in there. Don't get me wrong great commander for goblins but not too sure he would stay in play long enough for you to utilize him very well. You might consider Myrel, Shield of Argive or Teysa, Orzhov Scion

Hello,

Try the OG Teysa, Orzhov Scion as the commander.

Teysa and her Orzhov Syndicate is my build and has been a favorite for years.

wideline1414 I typically get Teysa, Orzhov Scion out early for value and creature exile. The only silver bullet I have is Necrotic Sliver. I count Elspeth, Sun's Champion, Grave Pact, and Dictate of Erebos as mass removal.

I have consider running some more in hand instant speed stuff. Sudden Spoiling has put in so much work for me over the years. I know its not removal but I have a Teferi's Protection in a deck that I do not play much.

In my meta this deck has pulled off a lot of come from behind wins.

KorandAngels on Teysa Karlov’s Double D's

1 year ago

I was originally going to doubt the title, because you can't really see her body shape through her clothes on Teysa Karlov's art, and on Teysa, Orzhov Scion she actually looks pretty small, but then I saw her on Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts and there's no doubt any more.

What the fuck am I doing?

ThePianist on Teysa, Ozrhov Scion Combo

Especially when I have other back up combos, for example with Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Pitiless Plunderer, a sac outlet and one of my recursive creature (Bloodsoaked Champion or Reassembling Skeleton) I have infinite death trigger, It also works with Teysa Karlov or Pawn of Ulamog instead of Teysa, Orzhov Scion, and even if it's not infinite without Pitiless Plunderer it is still 2 death triggers for each black mana I have
