Strategy
Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is a defensive powerhouse that turns incoming combat damage into a token-generating engine. Her protection from creatures makes her nearly impossible to block or target in combat, while her triggered ability punishes opponents for attacking you—destroying their creatures and generating flying Spirit tokens in the process. This creates a snowball effect where the longer she stays on the battlefield, the wider your token army grows.
Your game plan is to stabilize early, resolve Teysa, then sit back and watch opponents' creatures destroy themselves. You'll build token synergies—sacrifice outlets, anthems, and aristocrat payoffs—so your growing Spirit army either closes out the game through combat or fuels a sacrifice-based win. The deck naturally leans midrange, using removal and small defensive creatures to buy time until Teysa arrives.
