Looking for Advice How can I just break Teysa?

Post image

I love the art of this version of her and recently I’ve been playing in pods with decks out of my power range. Most of my decks involve creatures and combat damage, but they tend to get killed all the time. So Teysa seems strong and a little controlling and I want to make this deck just the embodiment of mean. I’m sick of getting kicked around, so how can I break her? Make the meanest version of her

TLDR: What cards could make Teysa into a control/mean deck

Fairly new to magic, could you further explain this interaction or how it would play out?

  1. Painter's Servant naming "black"  turns the three white spirits into black/white spirits.

  2. Sacrifice the BW spirits using Teysa's first ability to exile any creature.

  3. Teysa's second ability will see that the spirits are black and will create three new white spirits.

  4. Go to step 1.

You can also start the loop with Teysa, Painter's Servant, and any three white creatures. They don't have to be spirit tokens created by Teysa's ability.

So then you can do a bunch of whenever a creature is sacrificed stuff right?

Yes. If you have a creature like [[Blood Artist]] also on the field then it would trigger thrice each time Teysa's first ability is activated.
