Teysa, Orzhov Scion + Darkest Hour + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Teysa, Orzhov Scion

Darkest Hour

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing another creature.
2. When the creature dies, Teysa triggers, creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token that is black due to Darkest Hour.
3. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on Darkest Hour to paint every creature on your board black, turning Teysa, Orzhov Scion into an endless engine that replaces every sacrifice with a fresh Spirit token. You begin by using Shilgengar, Sire of Famine to sacrifice a creature and produce a Blood token, which immediately triggers Teysa's second ability because the sacrificed creature was black. The resulting 1/1 Spirit is also black thanks to the global enchantment, perfectly priming the board to repeat the cycle.
