So what I'm hearing is you're a communist. Kinda ironic since green is the color of free shit and you hate it most. You being a blue player and making everything harder for literally everyone around you check s out though.
Teysa is one of my favorites for many reasons, first because I love aristocrat strategies, second because she attracts kill spells in a deck that loves seeing its stuff die, and third because the deck functions just fine without her on the field. She's just the icing on the cake. The deck will function and threaten even if she doesn't stay in play, having her stick around to untap just turns it into "okay now let's see if I can win this turn".
That's my Izoni, Thousand-eyed, deck. It kills people by sacrificing my own stuff. Izoni just happens to create 100 critters when she etbs from time to time.
A deck that isn't perfectly functional without the commander on field is a bad deck. If anything, she just teaches players how to actually build a real commander deck.
The most acurate description of Tesya Gameplay is: I don't need an strategy i'm just throwing Random people at you until i win... or i run out of people... and believe me i won't
the City Styles secret lair Teysa though? gawd damn normally the horny dollar doesnt go that far in Magic compared to other TCGs, but that's a $0.78 card going for $40+ and worth EVERY CENT day 54 of asking for Baron Von Count!
I was going to say minimum mid 90's. However, that's assuming that at the time of the original books, she was on the younger side of graduating from law school.
Ravnican humans just sort of live inexplicably long lives. Agrus Kos was just over 100-odd in the original books and was mentioned to look old for his age.
@@sarahmetcalfe50 In one of the story columns for Commander 2015, she explicitly states herself to be 112. Ravnica Allegiance takes place a couple years later from what I can tell.
Regular Teysa art is more of just mom and aunt energy (just failing to hit older sister in the magic online and dragon maze ones). BUT THE CITY STYLES LAIR! That one explains how the triggers get doubled and why she gives everyone the ability to instantly raise their swords back up after attacking.
@@jacobmcneer609 The best way to put in Magic terms is that it's aggressive Aristocrats. It has token doublers, lots of token output, a whole lot of effects that protect my commander, but not the rest of my board (as she does damage to opponents equal to the number of other attacking creatures I control). Combined with a lot of Blood Artist effects as well as Butcher, I focus on making my opponent lose more creatures or life than I did in any exchange.
The best Orzhov story is actually a Boros story: Bell Borca took out a life insurance policy with the Orzhov and came back to avenge his own death. Masterful.
Teysa stands alone but NOT with a foot on top of you, she's got a warped leg and needed a cane to walk before her subtype was nonconsensually upgraded to Spirit in MKM
@@sarahmetcalfe50 I was playing orzhov crime with Vadmir, but a friend was playing laughing jasper flint and he went off like crazy. Both of us ended up losing to this one guy who pulled both okos from the same pack.
They might make accidental tokens but builing around Geralf, the Fleshwright on arena I've accidentally made upwards of 200 power worth of tokens with Rise from the Tides... Genuinely didn't expect the two to interact quite the way they do...
one of my favorite decks ive built is w teysa, it's focused on multiplication and afterlife triggers to make as many dudes into as many triggers as possible without going infinite
Hehehehehehehehehehe my card! He finally did my card! And I love it! One time, one of my buddies brought his 9 year old nephew to Magic night and I bullied that child to the point that he decided that my commander and I were both equally Kill On Sight. I happened to draw both Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos that game and I regret nothing, kid was annoying.
Got get my boy discount Voldemort. Extus oriq overlord and his even funnier backside which is a sorcery in the command zone. Did i mention it is in mardu and both away to sac things and the outlet itself.
And then there’s the fun bullshit that is Rally the Ancestors and friends. I want you to imagine a Storm deck. Now, I want you to imagine a Storm deck built on the backs of ceaseless corpses and also token goobers. You draw cards, you gain mana, you kill people, and you treat your cards like you’re playing whackamole in Inscryption. At least your opponents only get to die once, and not five times for the OTK
If my memory serves me from the books, Teysa walks with a limp. She is going to have trouble stepping on anyone. Except metaphorically......she is good at that.
The card that made me first interrsted in the game was Teysa, Orzhov Scion! So accurate Mald! Would go into debt to the Orzhov just to get her to notice me!
First Commander deck I ever built and still my strongest one. If you're left to your own devices with this card on board and a few combo pieces you absolutely can find a win, or at least a massive swing in advantage in some way. It's difficult to outright win a game without her on board in my experience, but the deck absolutely does function without her. The icing on the cake is that she combos extremely well with the other Teysa, being Orzhov Scion, giving you loads of bodies to sac, and potentially removal.
She's greeeeeat in my Esper (Varina, the Lich Queen) Zombie commander deck. Dictate of Erebos, Vengeful Dead, Corpse Knight, Diregraf Captain, Sir Konrad the Grim, Black Market...One zombie dies, everyone else sacrifices 2 creatures + takes 6 damage (I gain 2 life) and 1-2 more target players take 1-2 damage on top, and I gain a stackable 2 extra mana every pre-combat main phase. ...and if it died from me attacking with it, that's 1+ extra life for me, 1+ draw, 1+ discard (Which if Konrad's out and I discard a creature card, that's another point of damage to everyone else). Even more damage if I have Sanguine Bond out.
My teysa deck( dubbed teysa triplets because it has the first 3 teysas) is my favorite deck. I am constantly & actively trying to make it more powerful until I can consistently win with her.
(and yes, i run anything orzhov that makes you may mana. Trying to find an Esper Sentinal for giggles... I may also combo the King with Horobi, Deaths Wail)
I don't know where I make my suggestions, but oml go over Kudo, King Among Bears, I've been playing it as the most toxic stax deck imaginable, nobody comes back from Selesnya ramping into 20 mana by turn 5 and slamming a Grand Cenobite after also slamming a Living Plane or Nature's Revolt
You’ve toasted so many of my decks 😂 so I guess day 1 of me asking for you to come for Galadriel, Light of Valinor because I know I’m the problem. You know we get full value every turn.
I've had someone play a PARTIAL board wipe against me with Zombie Apocalypse, and between my multiple copies of Teysa and my multiple Heliod copies, I gained 600 life. Thank you Ratdrabik. I've had someone look through my Teysa deck. After a few minutes of doing so, they hand it back to me and flatly say "you're an asshole." I could not disagree.
When I was going through my binder of cards, looking for potential legendaries to make a commander deck around, it was realizing that I owned Teysa Karlov that got the 'oh no' response. I still haven't made it, because that honestly seems mean.
Teysa Karlov is a deck that doesn’t really need her to be on the field to function. W/B aristocrats is a deck where each piece creates value until it goes infinite.
Day fourteen of asking you to roast the Fourteenth Doctor, episode one of three. It made a comeback and it's honestly refreshing compared to previous incarnations

She can’t just get it. The cardboard is your soul mate man.
Oof this is too true😂😮💨
"I'll fuckin' do it again" Every Teysa player ever myself included
Teysa is one of my favorites for many reasons, first because I love aristocrat strategies, second because she attracts kill spells in a deck that loves seeing its stuff die, and third because the deck functions just fine without her on the field. She's just the icing on the cake.

If I'm remembering the old Ravnica lore right, the last guy who said "Yeah, she can get it" was later hacked to pieces by zombies.
Worth it IMO.
Can we get Pia Nalaar, Consul of Revival at some point? Insult Boros, please, it makes us think that we are doing as much as everyone else.
i love pia nalaar. resolving a Dance with Calamity is basically just playing blackjack to see if i win the game or not
What about pia and Kiran nalar? Aka mom & pops one stop thop shop
But can she get it when she becomes a ghost? 🤔
Boutta show her some ectoplasm

day 54 of asking for Baron Von Count!
Joining the call for Magnus the Red
We stan for Teysa standing on us
This card makes phyrexian alter as ashnods alter scary
I run both. When you also have Elenda it’s VERY funny.
Fun fact: Teysa Karlov, as pictured here, is about 115 years old. She looks like a quarter of that _at most._

@@charcharmunrthe fact that she’s a high-ranking member of the guild that deals in souls and the power of life and death probably helps too

Bought it for 16 because “fuck yeah Anime Teysa” holy crap the raise….
Once more I beseech the Lord of Roasts to take a crack at Eight-and-a-Half-Tails. He's my favorite commander.
That Sun Tzu line was a rib-splitter.
I'm literally actively playing this commander in MTG Arena as I watch this
You know who the king of the deal is? Brawl commander Davriel, Soul Broker
The Syndicate is pleased.
thank you mald for this Ive been waiting for months for this!
Bro, it's not gonna be one of those feet on top of you, it's gonna be that cane.

Can confirm: Teysa is the “can get it”est commander/ character.
The best Orzhov story is actually a Boros story: Bell Borca took out a life insurance policy with the Orzhov and came back to avenge his own death. Masterful.

I have a serialized teysa that I finally built a deck around, number 114.
how could you say she can get it without even showing the "if looks could kill" secret lair smh
She's not in that drop... I'm confused by your statement
@@gemyniraptor8626 She is in the City Styles secret lair and the art is pure SEX.
Still mad they killed my boob window goth GF. Also, this version is the best and has been one of my favorite commanders I've built
See I agree with the can she get it but SPECIFICALLY Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts❤
She really is the ur-example of "specific mechanic gets a doubler" huh.
Also Day ME of asking for Yorion Sky Nomad
I mean, pretty sure thats Panharmonicon, the OG doubler of ETB Triggers
My teysa deck( dubbed teysa triplets because it has the first 3 teysas) is my favorite deck. I am constantly & actively trying to make it more powerful until I can consistently win with her.
A queen I will bow to
Teysa voted most gettable? Glad to see my man has some damn fine tastes.
Teysa, my beloved. The commander that makes board wipes into wincons.
Love her in my Caesar deck ❤
Damn.... Someone dethroned Navi, keen negotiator for the #1 spot of "can get it"...
Oh hey it’s my waifu ❤
Tasha, the Witch Queen :D
It finally happened!! Yay!!
Teysa is absolutely top tier get it.
Teysa is one of the major reasons I became such a lover of all things Orzhov
So now i have to ask for King of the Oathbreakers.
Hes my commander of my Orzhov Debt Collection deck :P
(and yes, i run anything orzhov that makes you may mana. Trying to find an Esper Sentinal for giggles... I may also combo the King with Horobi, Deaths Wail)
Gaslight or fight, pull up the guild of deals
Yes my queen! Teysa!! not many people know this but she has one nip nop that’s darker than the other. Do Liliana Vess plz 🙏
