Teysa Karlov Commander Deck Tech
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2019
- Teysa Karlov doubles up all your death triggers and lifelinks your tokens. With all that murder value and minion support, I think she'll make a solid guild leader and an even better general.

I’ve been playing MTG on and off for 23 years. My way back grass roots in the game were orzhov, back in the days of working like a dog to keep Lord of the Pit happy. I came out of a 6 year hiatus from the game about 2 years ago to try the new (to me) commander format. I’ve been struggling really bad thus to get a foothold in the format... Until now.
Thank you so much for posting! this is an excellent primer, on an amazing commander that speaks volume to us old grindhouse value-engine loving pugs.
This video must have had afterlife
"Every copy of Teysa, *even the horrible ones*"
My good sir there are no horrible copies of Teysa. I resent your implication :p
I play Envoy of Ghosts incase someone has a creature strat. Sure I have to ramp her onto the field but once she's there she's the perfect reason not to attack me
DJ, I’m glad that you got to build around my favorite commander. I can’t wait to watch it in action!
Also, Gratz on the GK’s seat! May you be the one to stand.
I have been subscribed for a while now and I love all of your deck techs! This deck is super cool and I ordered all the cards on TCG and I can't wait to play it myself. Keep up the good work DJ!
DJ, love your stuff man, you've become one of my favorite channels. PLEASE ENABLE CLOSED CAPTIONING on you vids man, so I can enjoy your stuff in places where I can't have sound on.
I totally second this.
I was watching this and thinking to myself, "If I don't see Krav and Regna here, I'm SOO gonna troll the comments." Seconds later, you mentioned Krav and Regna, which are the commanders of my Orzhov deck. And Teysa was in my prerelease kit so you better believe it went into that deck. I had to review your deck tech because I like checking out other ideas that maybe I never saw a card I could use. The vampire from Ravnica Allegiance, for example! I don't know how I missed that one! Thanks for your deck techs, DJ, you rock!
I got a 5 hour long ad for Lego movie that was just the same line of a song repeating over and over. I already know this video is going to be great.
Memes Mcgee same here. Is the song stuck in your head.
@@alexanderneimeth4538 same
I've already started assembling my Teysa deck (pulled her at prerelease) and this is a big help. Thanks DJ!
Teysa is great! Love the deck tech, thanks for the effort you put into these!
Can't wait to see the Game Knights ep! Been working on a Teysa deck the past couple of weeks and I'm LOVING it!
Dude, you nailed this deck! Great ideas. Reminds me of my Meren B/G deck. Sac outlets are so fun! You have not lived until you recur Kokusho three times in a row. I can't even imagine with this commander. YIKES!
I love how excited you get about your decks!
I'm so excited to see you on Game Knights! I'm rooting for you!
DJ you make magic so amazing with your passion for the game. I really appreciate what you do for the community man. Thanks a ton
OMG this deck is so awesome. What about Open the Graves or cards like Secure the Wastes and True Conviction... Man the token synergies in B/W are sooo good with this deck. I can't wait to see this deck in action. I'm definetly getting the Guild Kit, thanks DJ :)
I just built my Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck after being so hyped for allegiance and I have to say it's super fun and genuinely competitive. I have Teysa Karlov as an alternate commander due to her being so synergistic with the deck and being a nice change of pace. I am a HUGE fan of the treasure mechanic and for anyone who hasn't seen yet, THE NEW TREASURE TOKENS IN ALLEGIANCE ARE ORZHOV THEMED! OMA has awesome metal coins for treasure tokens that I also find super cool.
BTW good luck on Game Knights dude, can't wait to watch tm.
This is what I was waiting for. She is one commander in awhile that I couldn't wait to build. Glad you're piloting this on game knights!
I'm really happy right now, as it seems I have finally improved a bit at deck building seeing how similar our lists are!
I made a list for my Teysa Commander Deck because I really like the idea behind it, and my list is like 90% your list. :)
I actually can't believe HOW similar our decks are! Even my "stupid" ideas are the exact same as yours! :P
Like Ancient stone Idol, Revel in Riches or even the My little pony farm :D
But really, the core Strategy and build is absolutly fun!
In my second game yesterday I already pulled of an infinite combo which I didn't even know was in there.
I love this video! Everything I want to do in magic (when I don't have access to blue of course) and I am really excited to go watch game knights now. Keep up the excellent work!
This video has been invaluable for me. Definitely building this deck, not your exact list, but similar.
I'm excited to see you play on Game Knights in tomorrow's video DJ! Also, I really like this commander! I've been wanting an Orzhov commander, and I think this is the one for me!
I’ve been dying for this!! Thank you!
Finally, I've been looking for a comprehensive Teysa Tokens deck and DJ delivers as always. ^_^
I love this deck so much DJ! I now have something to build with my foil stamped Teysa Karlov.
2:12 I'm staring straight at the sun
If u knew how old she actually is u probably wouldn't
@@kylesavage4525 maybe I still would
This deck looks sweet, DJ. Love your deck techs!
DJ, You Rock! Best deck techs by far! Keep it up!
DJ juste saying in passing. Following you since a while. Was very glad to have you on command zone (I love Jimmy too don't get me wrong) and I hope it channel grows the way it deserve to. (Top 3 mtg channel imo with the boyz of CZ and prof)
When I brainstormed a deck list (that was pretty similar to your aristrocrats version), I was so hyped about the fact that Teysa's effect double-dips on Elenda, so that she essentially creates four times as many tokens. :D When Elenda hits the board, shit gets real!
I also put Cathodion, Burnished Hart (not directly affected by Teysa, but still good) and Boreas Charger in for ramp. The combination of Emeria Shepherd, Teysa, Cathodion and Burnished Hart also gets you every basic land in your deck into play. :D
Sac Cathodion: add 6 colorless (two times three, because of Teysa), crack Hart -> one plains, one swamp. Shephert's triggers gets you Cathodion into play and Burnished Hart into your hand. Then cast Burnished Hart for the remaining 3 colorless and repeat.
I love that deck already!
DJ's deck techs always gets me hyped up!
I can't wait to build my Teysa deck! So hyped for this commander 😁
Awesome video with a fun, exciting deck. I’m rooting for you on Game Knights, even if Vinnie is playing my preferred color choices!
I wanted to thank you, DJ, for inspiring me to build Teysa Karlov. The value will be had!
Super fun and flexible deck. Thanks!
The video has afterlife
When I saw her revealed. I could not stop thinking on how good of a commander she will be. Great video btw!
I played Teysa yesterday with only half of the things shown in this video and still was sooo powerful. Creating 34 token with Spiritkeeper was glorious!
I’ve been waiting so long to see you play DJ!
I was waiting for this !!!!
I had this big long explanation of my Vampire team commander deck but he basically covered the entire thing of the deck in the end with both decks they have double strike, haste ,lifelink, death touch, vigilance, Trample, indestructible, and about 400 +1/+1 counters
Makes me sad that Jimmy didn’t let anyone play their decks. Would have liked to see this deck do co things
hehe maybe DJ was to greedy with the card draws... :P
he should have destroyed that planar bridge
finally! thanks you awesome man!
I really like the interaction between Requiem Angel and Divine Visitation
I am hoping DJ wins this episode of Game Knights
TibLoo 2 he already won one on the mono color aether revolt commanders. Let DJ win this one, cause he did win extra turns. I would like to see his first game knights win and his deck seems the most fun to play
True Danny Knight I honestly hope he did, but I also want Jimmy to win too. Either way it’s going to be a fun episode.
Well apparently corruption wins.
@@Tuturial464 Yeah, bu t He was due for a win even if it was that way.
Young King well he won extra turns. A more fun game. So... yeah!
He changed the reveilark input. Leaves the battlefield effect if it dies does trigger her effect. Only if it dies.
That is correct. I built the deck before release but I should have checked the interactions before I released yesterday. Sorry for the psych-out.
@@JumboCommander been wanting to make her as a commander myself. Ty for the video. Hope you win with her!
Can't wait to watch you play this
Hey I found a card that I think would be great in this deck that I'm surprised wasn't mentioned! It's an old card called Fanatical Devotion.
I was hoping you would mention the interaction between Divine Visitation and Requiem Angel! If you have Teysa out and those two enchantments, each time one of those angel tokens dies, it creates two more angel tokens because they aren't spirits, which can each turn into two more angel tokens! And even if you don't have Teysa out, each angel still replaces itself which can be great if you need the creatures to sacrifice.
Will be seeing this in Game Knights because your doing this video
Wound reflection and Archfiend of Despair with Kokoshu the Evening Star wound be awesome.
TWILIGHT DROVER!!!! One of my favorite cards from original Ravnica!
Idk if you thought about this card, but Boreas Charger is land ramp that I think will trigger twice with teysa. And land ramp is probably better than other forms of ramp as it's removed less often and punished less often.
Omg i can not wait for the chaos that is going to happen in tomorrows game knights.
Who else is really hyped for Ravnica Allegiance??
Just noticed in both new arts for Teysa they got rid of her signature Orzhov symbol from her chest. Must've shown too much skin for WotC.
Hey DJ, can you do a deck tech for Magic Arena using only the cards available right after the tutorial. I’m sure many players doesn’t want to use the precon mono color deck given to everyone but making a decent deck out of them requires tricky balancing that most just wreck due to personal preferences so a couple of deck build will help 😁
Game knights is going to be sick... I hope... Jimmy's deck and Josh's deck both look brutal. And DJ's ideas are looking wicked, too.
This list is really good, but might I offer some suggestions?
Nim Deathmantle is an excellent option in Teysa. Even though it doesn't make a difference if you trigger it twice, you can just combo off with Kokusho, Ashnod's Altar, and Sifter. Kokusho dies, makes 2 tokens, sac them both to altar, pay for Nim revival. Repeat.
Deathrender is excellent as it let's you drop 2 creatures onto the battlefield.
Spirit Bonds is excellent for token making and as a sac outlet that lets you protect your important stuff
Black Market means you get a TON of mana on deaths
Lastly, the Monuments from Amonkhet are great reduce rocks AND they give you great buffs when you cast stuff.
I got the erebos secret lair and athreos was the kick i needed to finally build this deck and it is soooo good. Looking for some ideas i might have missed.
DJ, this deck makes me want to play commander . . .
This one looks great. Just one question, just saw the Game knights episode, and the decklist from here and there differ a tiny bit, just wondering though, the swap of some cards were made to add a little bit more consistency? For example Revel in riches is absent in the Game knights one, so you didnt want another win condition anymore? As i said love it in general, just wondering :)
Worth noting that Mimic Vat does not prevent cards from hitting the graveyard, as per gatherer: "The imprint ability will trigger whenever a nontoken creature is put into any graveyard from the battlefield, not just your graveyard."
So it wont' prevent Teysa's ability from triggering.

Hello DJ, great video as always I'm a really big fan of you since the beginning!
I'm quite indecise about a token deck I want to make including orzhov colors, I'm thinking about
1 teysa Karlov
2 teysa orzhov scion (got a foily one I want to use 😍)
3 queen marchesa (access to red+card draw in the commandzone)
I really wish you could give me an input on this one!
Day before, good job DJ!
Considering the lifelink given to the tokens, Felidar Sovereign would also give a very feasible alternate win condition...
Arena Rector with Lilianna and Elspeth Sun's Champ seems pretty damn good here,
My build is coincidentally nearly identical, Teysa is so good she builds herself.
Question: would you put Syr Konrad the Grim from Eldraine in this deck for amusement, chaos and mayhem?
Don't forget Black Market for extra mana whenever a creture dies! And it combos amazingly well with Pawn of Ulamog and Sifter of Skulls, creature dies, you get Spawn tokens and a counter on Black Market. Sac the Spawns for mana and add extra counters on Black market, add to it Smothering Tithe and Pitiless Plunderer and you have mana for days!
Sorry if someone already said this, but angelic visitation also combos with requeum angel to get infinite etb/death triggers if that matters :)
So many c-c-c-c-c-cc-combos
I do not know how powerful it is but you can go infinite with angelic accord, requiem angel and any free sacrifice, pretty protected in comparison to creature based infinite combos, he talked about both cards but it seems he did not notice this combo potential
did you consider lifeline for the deck? when used with altar of dementia could be an alternate win con.
So you sacrifice something with Ashnod's Altar, Twilight drover gets two +1/+1 and Pitiless Plunderer makes 2 treasure. You use the mana and 1 treasure to remove a +1/+1 from Twilight Drover and you net 1 +1/+1 Counter, 1 Creature, and 1 Treasure. Reapeat 1000 times with a Zulaport Cutthroat and win the game.
It's a lot of pieces but they're all relatively cheap and unless someone knows the combo it's not immediately threatening until they need instant speed removal to stop you. I love decks with multiple win conditions. You waste all of your removal on one threat or another but eventually something hits the field that you simply cannot stop.
Can't wait for game knights!
Any particular reason Ogre Slumlord didn't make it in?
I use Death Baron and open the graves in my Teysa deck.
ehhhh nice deck! can't wait for the 25th
Do you use it that betrays in this deck dj.. I do. How bout razeketh??
I'm surprised that Harvester of Souls, a 5/5 deathtouch for 2 black and 4 colorless was left off of this list. It's ability "whenever A creature dies, draw a card" is phenomenal. You get 1 card for their creature dying, but 2 cards for your creature dying... and NO LOSS OF LIFE for drawing! It's an auto include in my opinion.
Teysa is hands down going to be my new favorite commander. But I'm a total Vorthos players, so the deck is going to have to be as thematically appropriate as possible. Most notably, I'm building the deck to focus on Revel in Riches and Treasure tokens. It's gonna be great.
Here I am again. Money down on u! Go DJ!
Double up etb triggers such as massacre wurm
Is it right that your yesterday deck tech of this deck was taken down or did you take it down? What happend to it DJ? Can you please explain?
helm of the host on Teysa hmm🤔
That would get disgusting really quickly. I like it though.
blade of selves! then they all die and you get a bunch of doubled death triggers
Helm of the host on krenko....
Stop being so smart
Helm of the Host is just wonderful in the format. Though it's a *wee* bit difficult to actually pull off with how expensive it is, it's pretty much a wincon, and wincons are allowed to be a little pricey, right?
Mimic Vat exiles the creature after it hits grave
You might add in Rootbound Defenses and other cards with Populate.
I feel as though Elesh Norn should’ve been in this deck because making your 1/1 tokens into 3/3 lifelink vigilance would be valuable especially Norns -2/-2 which would be a mini board wipe and make your tokens attacks that much more valuable I realize that it would be situational and going tall with tokens that are meant to be cannon fodder isn’t something this deck wants to really go but it’s still an idea that could easily change the tide of the game even if you got only one swing with your super tokens
GAME NIGHT FOOTAGE!! Must watch
thoughts on Mentor of the Meek for draw?
Black market would be a hard-core MVP in that deck can you freaking imagine?
Quick question. Mimic vat. It doesnt say "if a creature would die, exile it instead", it says WHEN a creature dies, you may exile it" its not a replacement effect. Its a triggered ability. You still get dies triggers.
Am i missing something?
Very nice! Not sure Sidisi doubles, though .
Hey my dude. You seem really realient on Teysa being out with little protection for her. How are you making sure she stats around?
I wonder if Scion Teysa is better than RNA Teysa in the command zone...
10:49 "You will always have limited mana" Press X to doubt.
Infinite mana combos are a thing, especially with cards like Ashnod's Altar/Phyrexian Altar.
Those are both free sac outlets though. PROVING THEIR POWER! :)
no Sheoldred, Whispering One? I would have figured that Praetor to be an auto include. Vault of the archangel is also really good here, giving all your tokens lifelink and death touch
Fun fact that card reads: 7 mana the whole table gangs up against you. Strong? Indeed.
also, another card I would include here is Bontu's monument, since its on theme and everything, it has "when you cast a creature spell, each opponent loses 1 life and you can 1 life, Oktra's monument is also on theme, it creates tokens when ever you cast a creature spell, so every creature you cast get a 1/1 warrior companion with it that has vigilence. so I wpould include those too
Whats the card art from at 22:37 ?
i am having a real hard time building this deck any suggestions?
Black Market, Blade of Selves, Helm of the Host... will these cards be any good for her? I think it might but I could be wrong.
Blade of Selves and Helm of the Host are generically good in a lot of decks ... I'm not thrilled with how much has to go right for them to get going. Black Market is ... well, it's just the best.
