Hi Guys, this is my take on Thalisse, Reverent Medium.

Deck Intro

I always wanted to build an aristocrats style deck and could not decide on a Commander. When i saw the spoilers for commander legends I immediately fell in love with Thalisse, Reverent Medium. When i saw the article Teysa vs Thalisse on EDHREC i finally build the deck. https://edhrec.com/articles/commander-showdown-teysa-vs-thalisse/ So far the deck has been a ton of fun to play!

The Commander

Thalisse, Reverent Medium is relatively expensive with a mana value (that‘s gonna take a while to get used to) of 5 and it sucks when she gets removed. Her ability says: At the beginning of each end step, create X 1/1 white Spirit creature tokens with flying, where X is the number of tokens you created this turn. Keep in mind that this effect triggers on your oppenent‘s turns and on creature tokens as well as on artifact tokens. That‘s why we run the best treasure cards in orzhov. To be honest not all of them are great, but i wanted to stay in theme. Smothering Tithe has to be the best of them, but Treasure Map   performed pretty great as well. The good thing about Thalisse, Reverent Medium is that the deck doesn‘t rely on the commander to win, the deck works pretty well without the commander, but doubles its power when she is out.

Card choices

Because of all the treasures we run Martyr's Bond over Dictate of Erebos and Grave Pact. It is really great to have against artifact heavy decks, but always worth it, because almost every deck runs some man rocks like Sol Ring and some utility artifacts like Lightning Greaves. I really fell in love with Storm Herd A nice add to the deck are Marionette Master and Nadier's Nightblade because both trigger of our treasures dying. Beckon Apparition is a nice graveyard hate piece, because it generates us a token alongside with removing a creature or another relevant card from the graveyard in response to a recursion spell. Academy Manufactor is a great addition to the deck, with him and the commander out you get 5 extra tokens for each treasure you create!

Win Condition

The Deck does not include infinite combos. The way you win most of the time is by outvalueing the opponent with all your deathtriggers, but unlike other aristocrat decks we do not only want to do that, but we also want to go wide and tall. With Cathars' Crusade or Divine Visitation on the field combined with Thalisse, Reverent Medium we can overrun our opponents pretty quickly. I still haven't won with Strixhaven Stadium, but you can still dream!

Upgrades

Anointed Procession is the first upgrade i'm gonna get for the deck.
