Any recommendations on creating a tier 1 Orzhov deck? They are my favorite colors, however I cannot seem to put together a build that can be consistent against tier 1 generals, specifically Animar.

I play a fair amount of board wipes and have added devoid removal to target Animar as needed.

Best orzhov commander imo is {Teysa, Orzhov Scion}. There's some kinda combo with her and a black enchantment that I can't remember. Either way, it'll be tough to deal with animar when you're playing, well, his protected colors.  {Brittle Effigy} is a decent way of getting rid of him.

{Darkest Hour} was the enchantment I was thinking of. Sacrifice 3 white creatures (tokens or w/e) and since they're black creatures as well, it replaces those 3 creatures with 3 more white creatures, making "infinite" exiling effects + death triggers ({Blood Artist})

{Karlov the Ghost Council} is crazy with the soul sister cards

This doesn't work. {Darkest Hour} doesn't say in addition to their other types and therefore makes the creatures only black and unable to be sacrificed with Teysa. Now if you had a way to play {Darkest Hour} and something that made the creatures white in addition to their other types, it would work and go infinite.

Ahh gotcha. It does work with any other sac outlet though correct?

Yes it does, just not with Teysa.

{ rule of law} is good against Animar.
So is {The Void}

I think I am altering my deck towards  {Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim}. Shouldn't be too difficult a change from Teysa.

Yea teysa with darkest hour and something like altar of dementia will mill out the opponent
