This deck is geared more towards multiplayer games, and is smothering in a one on one match. Originally chosen just to provide colours, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts has earned her roll as the commander of this deck. She can Voltron and close with unblockable commander damage, she can be a blocker that never takes damage, she can draw out removal before an opponent attacks, she can prevent opponents from attacking at all. Think of her as a parachute, to be used at the right time. Most games finish without ever having cast her, but the times you do cast her she impacts the field in a way that changes the game or demands an answer.

There are many ETB and LTB abilities that get abused with other cards like Gift of Immortality and Teleportation Circle. Tutors can run in a ring to set up constant card draw for exactly what you need.

Designed with a defensive shell, the idea is to wait for the perfect moment to drop a board wipe and then pivot into a different threat before your opponent can recover. Can win through beat down after you remove their threats, poison counters, drain their life with a big X cost spell or the infinite combo of Vizkopa Guildmage/Sanguine Bond with Exquisite Blood.
