What's more flavorful than the Ghost Council sending in a bunch of fodder to die, dealing with spirits, bringing the dead back to fight, and forcing angels to wipe out the opponent? The deck uses tokens to abuse for sac effects/chump blocking, and the Angels serve as a win con along with life draining effects. Let me know what you think!

I must say, I'm ashamed I forgot about my favorite defender! And although I have the hypnotist, another form of hand disruption would be nice, and {He Who Hungers} fits the bill. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to find room for them.

Any way to fit {Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts} in there? The art is just... so... beautiful!

Oh, and she works really well in your deck, too

I think I took her out because I didn't want to have too many high cost cards. However, the token generating {Dread} effect, combined with the art, is too tempting. I'll probably take out {Admonition Angel} or something high cost for her. Thanks for the suggestion!

As you have  {Teysa, Orzhov Scion} in there I advice  {Darkest Hour} and  {Blasting Station}

This was something I considered, but decided against for a couple reasons. One, when I drop Teysa, her primary function is to serve as removal, which is shut down by darkest hour. Second, it doesn't have much synergy with the rest of the deck. If I draw {Darkest Hour}, and don't have Teysa, its not serving any purpose. There likely will be times where I switch her out for the commander for one reason or another, and I'll definitely include these cards for those situations. Thanks!

If only there was a non-banned way to make all your creatures black and white!!!!!

I'd love that card!

[Teysa karlov]

So would I I run teysa as my commander

[Keyeto]

So I've made a few cuts, and made a few additions.

These cards just weren't cutting it:
{Marshalls Anthem}
{Voice of the Provinces}
{Admonition Angel}
{Agent of Masks}
{Orzhov Guildmage} (which hurt, I love the art)
{Reya Dawnbringer}

These are their replacements:
{Nim Deathmantle}
{Weathered Wayfarer}
{Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts}
{Souls of the Faultless}
{He Who Hungers}
{Solemn Simulacrum}

I'm also thinking about taking out {Caged Sun}, but I'm not sure about a replacement for it. Any more feedback is welcome!
