Strategy
Tevesh Szat is a sacrifice-focused planeswalker commander that rewards you for feeding creatures into the bin. Your core gameplan is to generate expendable tokens (especially those Thrull tokens from his +2), sacrifice them for value with cards like Viscera Seer or Altar of Dementia, and draw cards in the process. The deck leans into aristocrats synergies—cards that trigger when creatures die—to build card advantage and mana while filling your graveyard. His ultimate is a nice utility option for stealing opponents' commanders, but the real win comes from grinding out value until you've assembled enough resources for a lethal combo or simply overpowering the table with a recursion engine.
Build around free or cheap sacrifice outlets, death-trigger creatures, and token generators to keep the machine running. Cards like Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Wayfaring Ghoul turn your sacrifices into damage or life drain. Pair Tevesh with a partner like Roalesk, Apex Hybrid (for +1/+1 synergies) or Thrasios, Triton Hero (for ramp and card draw) to round out the gameplan. You're looking for a midrange grindy deck that wins through incremental damage, card advantage, and reanimation loops rather than a single explosive turn.
