Deck discussion for Cheap Teysa EDH.

Get them Agents OUTTA there. There aren't many reasons to sacrifice a land, and that's definitely not one of them. Agent of the Fates is an awesome card, but how many things do you have that actually target it? Better to run Innocent Blood and Barter in Blood and call it good that Agent of the Fates and a couple buff spells that will only take up room in your 99.

Identity Crisis is hilarious and good. There are few cards that so eloquently say "hey player who ruined my combo, fuck you in particular."

I'd cut Prism Ring—life gain is for suckas. The speed of EDH allows you access to stuff like Beacon of Immortality and Debt to the Deathless, but for the most part life gain in and of itself just isn't worth the card slot. Unless you have consistent synergies with life gain, it's usually not worthwhile.

Blood-Cursed Knight is dope a lope, but it won't do you much good in EDH. Even if you had waaaaay more enchantments, it's too small and too easy to get rid of. If a creature isn't providing utility for you and/or scaring the hell out of your opponents, it's not doing much.

All those enchantments are rad. I'd recommend adding Dictate of Erebos and Dictate of Heliod to make your weenies even scarier.

The white deck from Commander 2014 has some AMAZING token production options. Beyond that, Conquerer's Pledge, Storm Herd, Increasing Devotion, and Entreat the Angels are all excellent options for token production. Finding a good balance between li'l creatures that recur or make stuff (Reassembling Skeleton, Nether Traitor, Ophiomancer, etc.) and big spells that make hella weenies is key. Also, don't forget to buff those weenies. Combos are rad, but cards like Intangible Virtue and Captain of the Watch are just as likely to win you the game as going infinite—and they won't be as scary to other players, which means you're more likely to succeed. Never underestimate the danger of being ganged up on by opponents who fear your power. The politics of EDH is one of the best and trickiest parts of the game.

The only reason I had the sac land Agent in there was because I have Crucible of Worlds and I don't know of another card that will make it useful, and if I sac a land and then play it from the graveyard that seems pretty decent. I think if I get the cycling land cards I can discard them to draw and then play them from my graveyard though, and that seems like a better idea. If you have any better ideas let me know.

I took your advice and cut Agent of Fates and added the other two cards.

That's what I was thinking about Identity Crisis. It seems pretty dope, and making people get rid of their hand is pretty much always a good thing.

I did cut Prism Ring. It just seemed like one of the cards in the new set (Origins) that would be fun to have, but I guess I'll have to make do with Sword of the Animist. That card might not be the best card for this deck, but it seems fun to have so I'll start with it and maybe cut it later.

I added Blood-Cursed Knight because I have very few low mana cost creatures and wanted to get some more in there, and 3/2 or 4/3 if I have an Enchantment out for 3 doesn't seem bad. Cut him anyway.

Added the Dicktates. Didn't know they existed. Seem dope.

I added the White Commander 2014 deck to my Amazon cart. Will probably buy it. It has enough cards in it to fill in the rest of this deck I think, plus I might buy some specific cards from the Black Commander 2014 deck (specifically the lands). Let me know if you have more good ideas.

Crucible of Worlds just ain't that great, man. If you have a reason to have lands in your graveyard, it's amazing. If your playgroup is heavy into land destruction, it's AMAZING. But having two cards just for their synergy with each other is bad news. :/ Other than that, it's just an expensive card that won't do anything for you 90% of the time. It combos really well with things like Titania, Protector of Argoth, but it's definitely one of those cards that should only be in the deck if there's a specific reason for it.

That said, this is a sexy list. The only things I would add at this point are token generators, boardwipe, and spot removal (for creatures AND other things). White has the best spot removal going, but in this deck it might be good to keep at least some of it creature-based—it'll be slower and more expensive, but you'll get extra value when you sac the creature for a rad effect. Kor Sanctifiers, Enlightened Ascetic, War Priest of Thune, and Luminate Primordial are all very strong in that regard. Other than that, Path to Exile/Swords to Plowshares are amazing, and Return to Dust is vicious.

Day of Judgment and Wrath of God belong in pretty much any white deck. Hour of Reckoning is superb boardwipe if you don't normally play against a lot of other token decks, and Fell the Mighty (which is in that white precon deck) is a really interesting card. I haven't played with that last one much so I can't really vouch for it, but it looks like fun. Also, I'd highly recommend Decree of Pain in here. It's a solid card anywhere, but if you have a good chance of killing lots of creatures when you drop it it becomes AMAZING.

Reliquary Tower?

Srsly. Ophiomancer. It strong. Viscera Seer is another weenie that has a surprising amount of value in a token/sac deck. If you're lucky enough to get both online at the same time you have a wicked deck massage engine.

May I ask why you included Blood Scrivener?

I'm super stoked that you have Sadistic Hypnotist in here. He looks so damn good, but I've never gotten to play with him.

Okay, cut Crucible of Worlds. May add it back later.

Added Wrath of God, Kor Sanctifiers, Enlightened Ascetic, War Priest of Thune, and Luminate Primordial.
Added Decree of Pain, Fell the Mighty, Day of Judgement, Wrath of God, Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Return to Dust.
Added Reliquary Tower.
Added Ophiomancer and Viscera Seer.

I have Blood Scrivener because he seems like a weenie that will give me some extra card draw. I guess I don't know how often I will have no cards in my hand, but card draw is nice. I think the deck that I was looking at that he was in was mostly low cost things though so they were probably out of cards more often than I will be with my higher CMC deck.

Sadistic Hypnotist does look pretty awesome, and he synergizes with the deck really well.

Added Crib Swap, Militia's Pride, Entreat the Angels, Decree of Justice, Army of the Damned, Breeding Pit, Commander's Authority, Intangible Virtue, Endless Ranks of the Dead.

At 99. Looks decent.

No Decree of Justice/White Sun's Zenith?? That's bread and butter white tokens. Empty the Pits is mana-intensive, but might be a good inclusion. LOVE Army of the Damned.

Twilight Drover is insane. Nice pick.

I'd cut Breeding Pit and Commander's Authority. The constant cost of the Pit is worse than you might think—being constantly two mana behind is a huge blow, even in a format as slow as EDH. Plus, Bitterblossom does the same thing WAY better. Commander's Authority is decent but 1) it's attached to a critter so there's a huge risk of getting two-for-oned and 2) for the cost there are better options. Increasing Devotion: Bam, same cost but instant gratification. Plus when you flash it back shit gets FILTHY.

I really like Crib Swap. I don't think it's necessary (you've got Path, Swords, and plenty of boardwipe), but I like it. It's a fun card, and it's flexible.

I cut Decree of Justice because Entreat the Angels does the same thing for 1 less, plus it's miracle cost is way cheaper. I'll make room for White Sun's Zenith.
Will think about Empty the Pits. It seems like a worse version of Decree of Justice.

I know, he good.

Okay, I'll cut them and add Increasing Devotion. I've been looking at that card a lot, it seems good but I didn't know if it was worth.

Cut Crib Swap and Exanguinate to make room for White Sun's Zenith and to get down to 99.

I reckon it's kind of a toss-up between Entreat and Decree. Entreat definitely makes angels better, but Decree isn't really meant for making angels: the idea is that you cycle it at the end of someone else's turn, make hella soldiers, and then swing in for the win. As for those other cards:

Gisa: Amazing. Turns any critter into more zombies.
Grave Titan: Also amazing. I'm embarrassed I didn't suggest it already. I've failed you for the last time.
Goldmeadow: Noooooooope. If you're ever in a position where you'd rather have a weaksauce weenie that one of the cards in your hand, then that card that you're about to discard shouldn't be in the deck in the first place. The ability is cool, but 1) it's on a squishy li'l critter and 2) you have to discard to activate it. Not awesome.
Requiem: I'd try it. It's not super strong, but it's a big flying body and the ability is actually surprisingly good. Combined with Gisa, you have an endless supply of spirits/zombies. All in all, it's solid. Not a must-have, but definitely worth experimenting with.
Secure: YES. All the instant-speed token generation. ALL. OF. IT. It's cheaper than Decree (again, 99% of the time you'll be cycling it anyway), but not as versatile. Go with what ya feel.
