Teysa, Opulent Oligarch — Courtly Inquiry
Teysa, Opulent Oligarch plays like a slow tightening of a noose. Cast her for {1}{W}{B} and she brings deathtouch plus a steady Clue engine that rewards patient play. At the beginning of your end step you investigate for each opponent who lost life that turn so she converts aggression into card advantage. The second ability turns Clues that die into 1/1 white and black Spirit flyers so your board state can recover while you keep answers in hand.
In a Karlov Manor deck she slots where control meets value. Use creatures with evasion or sacrifice outlets to ensure opponents lose life and to cash in Clues efficiently. The card reads like a small courtier of the Orzhov, manipulating evidence and leaving a trail of spirits. Experienced players will notice she pairs particularly well with sacrifice synergies and exile removal that forces exchanges favorable to you.
