Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Tesya is the first EDH deck I ever built. It is a straight forward aristocrats style deck. Sacrifice black recursive creatures for value, and get spirits in return. I use Teysa to control the board until I get my combo going with Darkest Hour to put the game away. It can easily hang around without the combo, and just spin its wheels for value!\n"}]}
