Teysa, Orzhov Scion leads an aristocrats deck. Sacrifice outlets, free sac-for-value spells, and recursive or token-making creatures turn every creature death into card draw, mana, life drain or forced edicts. Teysa herself converts black creature deaths into flying Spirit tokens, and Darkest Hour makes every creature black so all deaths count. Her exile ability eats three white bodies, which the white Spirits and other white tokens supply. Token doublers and extra-trigger effects multiply the fodder, so the sacrifice loop keeps refilling itself. How it wins: It drains opponents a point at a time through many death-trigger payoffs while edict enchantments strip their boards, with Revel in Riches and a transformed Ormendahl as alternate finishers. Key roles: - Sacrifice outlets: Free, repeatable ways to kill its own creatures on demand, often producing mana, scry or extra value, so the death triggers can fire at instant speed or in bulk. (Viscera Seer, Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar) - Recursive and self-replacing fodder: Creatures that leave tokens behind or return from the graveyard, so each sacrifice costs nothing in board presence. Teysa's Spirit tokens and Darkest Hour turn every death into another body. (Nine-Lives Familiar, Nether Traitor, Darkest Hour) - Token multiplication and trigger doubling: Effects that double the tokens created or make small creatures' triggers fire twice, inflating both the fodder supply and the death payoffs. Doubled token creation also feeds Kambal's drain. (Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Kambal, Profiteering Mayor) - Drain payoffs: Many effects that make each opponent lose life whenever its creatures die, so a big sacrifice turn becomes lethal across the table. (Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, Bastion of Remembrance) - Edicts and board control: Enchantments and abilities that force opponents to sacrifice whenever its creatures die, alongside sacrifice-fueled exile removal and Teysa's own exile. This locks opponents out of creatures and feeds Revel in Riches Treasures toward its alternate win. (Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, Revel in Riches) - Death-fueled card and mana engine: Sac-to-draw spells, Skullclamp and death-triggered draw and Treasure keep its hand and mana flowing, so the sacrifice chain never runs dry. (Skullclamp, Pitiless Plunderer, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician)
