My 1st EDH deck was built around OG Teysa, Orzhov Scion. Over the years, I've made adjustments, doubling down on synergy, but as I've focused more on synergistic cards, I've ended up in a position where many individual cards are just super weak unless I have some board state.
I had focused on a somewhat controlling build, wanting to lean into Teysa's exile ability, supported by a lot of token production. Dumped some easy life gain on top of that.
Now I'm weighing whether I should swap to another BW commander.
Maybe the problem with the deck isn't the commander.
I've played against some pretty oppressive Teysa, Orzhov Scion decks that just don't let opponents hold any value creatures and can spam a board of fodder to control while they build a combo in the background for the win.
Why not post the deck and ask for pointers?
Make sure you list what your problems are so the community can see what you're aiming for
