Teysa is all about oppression, so it's time to do it to em' two times over.

My version of Teysa is an extreme value engine. Cards like Nightmare Shepherd from the new Theros are examples of how this can all happen. Sacrifice different things for value on top of value. Ever wanted to just straight up CHUNK the entire table? Have Kokusho, the Evening Star out with a sac outlet and Nightmare Shepherd and get two gigantic table-wide hits (20 damage to every opponent if you sac the token immediately) and a ton of life. The shepherd will only give one back, as the original is exiled, however this is a small price to pay for a potential wincon out of nowhere.

Want to have immense card advantage but hate the downside of losing life to Necropotence ? Bring out Ivory Tower and keep your life while having a full grip every turn (even more with cards that give you no maximum hand size!)

Having trouble tutoring for specific pieces to progress your board state? While this deck does not currently include Vampiric Tutor , it makes use of some of the other, lesser-used tutors that I honestly find more fun and interesting. If Liliana Vess is brought out early enough and is left unchecked, she can grab you two pieces over her first two turns, and then a piece every two upticks after that. People don't generally go after her (at least in my playgroup) because she isn't a token generator. You can have a ton of political fun with Scheming Symmetry , and Wishclaw Talisman can grab you two cards if you make a deal to have an opponent give it back to you. Demonic Tutor is also an auto include here, if you are able to get a copy at a decent price (thank you mystery boosters!)

The typical Teysa combos (for the most part) help this deck along too ( Teysa Karlov + Reassembling Skeleton / Tenacious Dead + Blood Artist + Phyrexian Altar , etc..), but those are also boring and overused, and there are more fun and interesting combos and interactions to be found within alongside them.

Bring your creatures back continuously and make your friends hate you today!
