Why not {Ghost Council} as Commander?

[Prophylaxis]

Why not {Ghost Council} as Commander?

You can build some pretty powerful decks with Teysa. I love the council too though.

I would start by killing all the one-drops such as {Elite Vanguard}, {Blood Pet}, and {Selfless Cathar}. EDH is the land of big, and your small creatures will get squashed.

Oops, sorry They're suppose to be third choice! Must have put the enter in the wrong spot. Fixed now. ðŸ'

*sigh* Yes, you are right. I was questioning their inclusion also, they were in there purely for sac purposes. I will exchange them for token makers?

Yeah, when you only have around 60 cards to jam in there you can't afford to have sacrificial fodder take up deck space.

Currently working on Currency of Orzhov 2.0, now 99% Weenie Free!

Will post soon.

[Prophylaxis]

Yay!

[Spikepit]

Oh man, I'm leaving a space open for {Jar of Eyeballs} for the 2.0 version of this deck for when it comes out!

[Spikepit]

I have just completed and reported modifications for The Currency of Orzhov 2.0.

However, I just know its gonna go into version 2.5 after Dark Ascension's release! 😊

Thought or comments welcomed still!

[Prophylaxis]

Much, much better.

[Spikepit]

Much, much better.

Yeah, I thought the weenies were a waste of space, but I wanted some easy sacs. I found some nice replacements though! It works quite well now! I just needed that extra push from a fellow wizard.

{Mortify}, {Unmake}, {Stillmoor Cavalier}?

[Spikepit]

{Mortify}, {Unmake}, {Stillmoor Cavalier}?

{Unmake} doesnt put the creature in the graveyard, which is a big strategy of the deck. {Stillmoor Cavalier} is a a weenie and we got rid of them. And I don't own {Mortify}. ðŸ˜"

Spikepit, they're makin' an intro pack with your name on it.  Okay, not literally:
