I'm looking for some help with my Teysa, Orzhov Scion deck. The idea is to use Teysa's colors and exiling abilities with Rebels and their recruiting/reanimating abilities to control the board.
General:
Teysa, Orzhov Scion
Creatures (48): -Rebels (26): Big Game Hunter Aven Riftwatcher Amrou Seekers Amrou Scout Ramosian Captain Deepcavern Imp Knight of the Holy Nimbus Ballista Squad Shield Dancer Dunerider Outlaw Nightwind Glider Ramosian Lieutenant Rathi Trapper Thermal Glider Defiant Falcon Lightbringer Cho-Manno, Revolutionary Outrider en-Kor Defiant Vanguard Ramosian Sergeant Ramosian Commander Rebel Informer Lawbringer Ramosian Sky Marshal Zealot il-Vec Riftmarked Knight
--Rebel Clerics (5): Samite Censer-Bearer Children of Korlis Saltfield Recluse Blightspeaker Ramosian Revivalist
-Clerics(5): Weathered Wayfarer Order of Whiteclay Order of the Stars Edgewalker Dark Supplicant
-Changelings(5): Ghostly Changeling Changeling Hero Skeletal Changeling Avian Changeling Moonglove Changeling
-Other Creatures (7): Scion of Darkness Glory Magus of the Disk Avatar of Woe Sun Titan Deathbringer Liege Voidstone Gargoyle
Sorceries (6): Hallowed Burial Damnation Wrath of God Planar Cleansing Diabolic Tutor Beacon of Unrest
Instants(5): Tempest of Light Condemn Ghostway Reciprocate Unmake
Artifacts(5): Vedalken Orrery Lotus Bloom Thousand-Year Elixir Expedition Map Reito Lantern
Enchantments(3): Pariah Bound in Silence Marshal's Anthem
Planeswalkers(1): Liliana Vess
Lands (31): 11 Plains 8 Swamps Mistveil Plains Flagstones of Trokair Kor Haven Urza's Mine Urza's Tower Urza's Power Plant Tectonic Edge Orzhov Basilica Boiseiju, Who Shelters All Barren Moor Godless Shrine Fetid Heath
Stuff I'm trying to get for this deck: Pariah's Shield Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero Ashes of the Fallen Conspiracy Cabal Coffers (have) Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Cairn Wanderer Swords to Plowshares Path to Exile (have, but am currently using.) Filth
OK, as you can see, the idea is creatures. Rebels for the reasons stated above, Clerics for Scion of Darkness, Changelings for being both rebels and clerics (and Changeling Hero in particular having nice Champion shenanigans,) and just general Good Stuff beyond that.
I've got a couple questions, though: -Is the cleric package too schticky? Absent Scion of Darkness, most of them are at best off-tribal utility creatures (Order of Whiteclay is a good reanimator, by absent Scepter of Dominance or Icy Manipulator, not reliable, Edgewalker is an occasional colored mana discount and nothing more.) What's worse is that the draw of double-tribal is having me keep marginal Rebels like Saltfield Recluse and Samite Censer-Bearer simply because they're both Rebels and Clerics.
-Is the Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth+ Cabal Coffers thing worth running in this deck? In mono-black, it's great mana ramp, but with this, the Coffers will only be marginally effective absent the Tomb, and vice-versa. Filth would help matters a bit by making the Tomb independently useful, but I'm not sure if that's enough to be worth including it. OTOH, I'm already mana-light and Rebels are extremely hungry, so I may be passing up something useful here.
-Anything else I should add?
Thanks.
