Good evening everyone!!! I just wanted to make a mention here that the new Ravnica set may potentially be a HUGE boost to this deck. The new mechanic “Afterlife X” creates a White AND “Black” spirit token. At worst, without our commander, we get another spirit out of killing our guys. At best, with our commander, we get 2 spirits if the Afterlife creature is Black and another 2 from the token dying. The amount of value from that alone is insane!!!
Hoping that we’ll be seeing some decent low cmc Afterlife creatures if for nothing else get more value out of Teysa’s already insane ability. HYYYYYPE!!!
Yeah, I saw the afterlife mechanic and immediately knew I had to rebuild this deck again. I'm excited to see what cards they create with the mechanic. Hopefully we get some extremely busted interactions (like our exploitative Teysa usually does)
Edit: i think OG teysa. The new one needs to spin too many plates
You definitely want to keep OG Teysa as most of the deck runs off of her black-creatures-dying trigger. This Teysa just makes the OG one go extra bonkers when they're both out.
It''s tough, I can see strong arguments for both. Personally, I'm going to try Ministrant of Obligation as it costs less, provides more targets for Teysa's sac ability, and has the synergy you mentioned.
I'm back from the dead (the EU account deletion). Snowfox, I follow your primer of Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, and I'm very curious to see your decklist for Teysa, too. Can I ask you the list? Thank you!

Of course! I'll have to find some time later to share my own list since I'm swamped with work and school, but know that my list is very heavily based on Schondetta's. He's done an amazing job with this primer, so you'll probably see only a few differences between mine and his
I rellay like those two, not that sure about despark, the 4 plus limitation may be restrictive, but cruel celebrant is going for sure in the deck... I may try dreadhorde invasion as a reliable source of tokens to sacrifice. And what do you think of Liliana, Dreadhorde General i think she deserve some attention.
Yes she is expansive, but she draw card when we sacrifice, is a sac outlet, and produce tokens...
Edit: And also God-Eternal Bontu, sac and draw, har to get rid of, menace, etc...
Anyone have an updated deck list? I haven't updated mine in a few sets and would love to bring it a little more current with all the new toys from the last few sets.

This post has been unused for a while, but I still want to share my current build. I drastically reduced the curve and due to some lucky pulls from mystery boosters was able to put in Mana Crypt.
This is really the deck my playgroup only lets me play if we don't have much time anymore, because it is so fast and resilient. The list is basically the same as the one in the original with some added new cards. If anyone still reads this and wants to make suggestions, feel free
With Luminous Broodmoth now being available, I am wondering if anyone else is considering where to slot that insect in. I have also discovered Volrath's Stronghold recently as a very good means of repeatable recursion, especially late game. Thoughts?

Also, it's thematically cooler with Teysa

- a great now version of Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant;
- and an incredibly efficient removal for meaningful targets, Despark.
Thoughts, opinions?

This my current list, but it's still missing a few toys from WAR and MH1, haven't had time to update. Im thinking about getting Dreadhorde Invasion, Liliana, Dreadhorde General and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician in there.

I am currently looking for a spot for Ophiomancer. I am considering cutting either Sengir Autocrat or God-Eternal Bontu.
edit:
Ended up cutting Bontu.
