Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"My first commander deck. Shortly after I started playing, I bought a random, single Dragon's Maze booster. A non-foil "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts"}},{"insert":" was the rare (I know, the value!). Her high cost and crazy, but powerful ability seemed to me to be what Commander is all about. The deck started as a random pile of sweet orzhov cards. After getting some experience with commander, it became an Orzhov lifegain deck. It was fun, but it felt like Teysa was just a cool card on top of the deck. So I went back to the drawing board and came back with an iteration of the deck that felt more in sync with the commander.\n\nThe current iteration of the deck is an Orzhov control deck, inspired by Teysa's gameplan of \"I'll block those creatures with my face!\". The monarch & initiative mechanics and cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Coveted Jewel"}},{"insert":" either rewards the rattlesnake effect with continuous possession of these mechanics, or gets players to attack before getting critical mass to become the monarch (netting me mini-field wipes and ghosts to retake the crown). Teysa is also unblockable, so it's easier to get these mechanics back momentarily to gain resource advantage without committing overly to combat. Overall, this is planned to lead to games with more medium and small scale combat, where good value creatures can play for smart attacks and blocks, rather than letting boards stall until we hit the \"board wipe, overrun, or pass\" play pattern. This plan is a little risky, so I have kept some of the lifegain from v2 of the deck, and supplemented it with damage reduction effects like the back side of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reidane, God of the Worthy // Valkmira, Protector's Shield"}},{"insert":" . To supplement the card draw available to black, I've brought in some of White's repeatable reanimator effects.\n\nWith Modern Horizons 3, another small subset of the deck developed. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Abstruse Appropriation"}},{"insert":" was such a fun design and was so in line with the deck's control aspects. But it demands colorless mana. I'd already had "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mirrorpool"}},{"insert":" since it was mostly free to include in the mana base and added an interesting value to the lands. Expanding this opened up a splash that netted another effect the deck had never had access to before: an extra turn spell in "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rise of the Eldrazi"}},{"insert":". The deck has thus become a deck primarily in two colors splashing for a third \"color\" in colorless. \n"}]}
