Fantastic deck tech. This has given me some great inspiration for my own Teysa Karlov deck. This is basically my first fully constructed commander deck, so i really appreciate videos like this

This is one of my favorite commanders hands down. My favorite standard deck was aristocrats back in the original innisstrad and return to ravnica. GREAT deck tech my friend. It gave me some good ideas for my own list. I love some of the more interesting card choices here. I hope to see this channel take off

Back when i played standard, aristocrats was far and away my favorite strategy. Teysa was also my first serious commander deck i built, so there is a lot of nostalgia when playing her. Thanks heaps Justin, i really appreciate it :)

The amount of love and effort you put in your videos are great. I see that even with SNC releasing soon you have updated your deck list in moxfield after all this time. You have earned my sub and many more

Your Teysa deck is awesome! I have watched many Teysa Deck tech videos, and the synergies in your deck seem the most interesting, unique, and powerful. It is clear you have put a lot of thought into developing the deck, it is particularly badass how you found that you can use recursions spells such as Brought Back and Faith's Reward as ramp in the early game. Unfortunately, fetch lands are a bit too expensive for my budget, so I had to go a different direction with some of the ramp and card selection for my deck. That being said, your video opened my eyes to replacing the bog standard commander deck mana rock and removal spell inclusions such as mind stone and Disenchant with ramp/removal that comes attached to a small body. Simply having one or two extra non-token creatures on-board for sacrificing generates a huge amount of value with Teysa, and , in the case you need additional removal/ramp, you can easily get the creatures back from the graveyard using the deck's creature recursion package.

Thanks Robster, that really means a lot. Those bodies really do make all the difference for Teysa, because like you said, you can access them again in the graveyard and they have additional utility. It also breaks up the monotony of feeling like you are always including the same 20 cards in every deck you build. Have fun with your Teysa build. She was one of the first commander decks i ever built and i still enjoy playing her to this day :)

Even with experience against the deck, yep, it can be really hard to decide when to pull the trigger on what.

I built this, and I included both Bitterblossom and Skrelv's Hive, as well as Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation to GREAT effect. I use stuff like Secure the Wastes, Martial Coup, Blot out the Sky, and White Sun's Zenith; as well as Inkshield to make me a ton of tokens as well

Also, if you use Reanimating Zombie or Oathsworn Vampire, you can do an infinite loop with G1/L1 (Blood Artist, Zulaport, etc), Ashnod's Altar, and Pitiless Plunderer: Sac Oathsworn and buy him back with a treasure, and just keep doing it until everyone at the table is dead

Amazing deck tech, I run a thalisse Reverent medium aristocrats build. I'm fully aware she functions better as a token generator / overrun sort of build, but I've been hell bent in making her work as an efficient aristocrats strategy, with each passing moment I found myself admiring this teysa build more and more. I'll keep plucking away with my thalisse build as it's become a pet deck for me, but this deck certainly seems a powerhouse

Tombstone stairwell should be in this deck. With as many death triggers there are combining it with a blood artist or similar while teysa is out is brutal. If something like crowded crypt or elenda are out as well you’ll be swimming in enough tokens by your turn you can do whatever you need to finish any opponents off that survived a go around with tombstone stairwell.

@@casual_commander hey I also wanted to ask if you felt the deck was optimized. Is there any changes you would make to make it even more competitive? Like I noticed no soul ring etc. If so what would you add and cut to make it better. Was just making sure before I purchased cards. My local meta is very competitive so I want to have fun but not be hammered lol

@casual_commander

@@webrebg i would rank the deck probably around a 7/10 power-level wise. To power it up, all you need to do is add some fast mana and tutors e.g. sol ring, mana crypt, demonic tutor, vampiric tutor. As for what to cut, that comes down to personal preference, but i would focus on any cards with mana value 4 or more, as they tend to be less viable the more competitive a meta gets e.g. Yosei, Vindictive Lich etc. But for sol ring and mana crypt, i think you could just cut two lands and it wouldn't hurt your mana base at all.

@casual_commander

Flesh-eater Imp is a great alternative win-con and having an extra sac outlet is never a bad thing in an aristocrats deck, as it is one of the key pieces you need to get the engine going. Anointed procession is a great card for the deck. Helps the go-wide strategy quicker if you are leaning into the combat token theme, but also just provides more sac fodder for the engine. Can't see any issues with the swaps you are making :)
