Notes
 
Goal for the Deck - Lots of game actions, drain to bring everyone down, value, spirits and clues!
Secondary Plan - Go high using exalted on clues?
Weakness - Lack of interaction with other decks, board wipes.
Target Power Level - 6
Win Turn Goal - 11

Landbase -
Staples -
Free Spells - No
Combo - None
Tutors - None

The goal of this deck is to create clue and spirit tokens, drain everyone a little bit, and then win through combat damage with flying spirits.

Alternative Commander - Other Teysa's

Current Record - 0-4
- Vs. Arcades, Ao, Be'lakor - Deck felt pretty good after the recent changes.  Be'lakor player won by reanimating a demon that did damage to everyone.  Still almost won by pinging people to death.  Pretty close.  Would have won on turn 11, which is my target.
- Vs. Jegantha, Aragorn, Kudo - Did a LOT of stuff, drained about 20 damage from everyone.  Drew a lot of cards.  Couldn't overcome a huge, lifelinking mutated creature.  Some more single target interaction would have been helpful.

    Goldfished twice to turn 8.  Ended up with 52 mana once and 50ish the second.  


    Turn 1 sol ring adds 16.  Turn 4 smothering tithe adds 2-3 per Turn, for a total of 8 to 12.  The improvise artifact with clues added significant mana as well.

    Goldfished about ten times tonight.  No mana issues.  Biggest issue was a two drop that could drain or do damage to trigger teysa on three.


    Are the token doublers worth it?

    Played the deck twice today.  The first time, the other player had Malcolm, got 4 counters, and dropped a Lab Maniac + Spell to draw the whole library.  Not enough interaction.


    Second game was longer, I had a better change of winning, but it was like 12-14 turns.  Lost due to Arcbond on a massive creature that wiped me away.  Needed more interaction with creatures and planeswalkers.


    Edit - Added two more pieces of removal, another land, and Kambal.
