#Help streamlining/optimizing my favorite deck

Hello, I've been playing Commander for about 2 years now and I've fallen in love with aristocrat style decks. My favorite commander is Teysa Karlov and I've been working on really optimizing this deck since I first started playing.

I really like this deck but I often find myself just twiddling my thumbs and casting creatures with no real affect on the game until I draw the last card I need to really start throwing damage. I personally don't like going to combat so I rely on blocking/sacrificing my creatures for drain effects and then creating more creatures to inevitably drain the entire board in one fell swoop.

But I feel like I need more gas in the deck. More card draw or creatures with death triggers to drain or get me value. Any advise is helpful.

my favourite card draw in my teysa deck is [[Necropotence]]

[[Ophiomancer]]

i run ophiomancer, just an easy sack every turn
surprised you dont run Reassembling skeleton
he goes infinte with pitless plunderer and phyrexian altar. Infinite treasures if teysa is on the board

here mine. cheaper than yours by a good chunk, and ive gone more the sac route with it.
Id remove Midnight reaper for a different draw engine. as he only procs on Non-token creatures.

for fetching your enchantment card/s you need

#

Card's id say you could consider removing are: Cathar Commando, Sifter of Skulls, Plumb the Forbidden (i removed it from mine, never hit quite right i found), and Murderous Rider

#

[[Trouble in Pairs]]

#

[[Smothering Abomination]] could be alright. i say that fairly liberally.

its only one trigger pre turn so its pretty lame imo

#

Have you considered [[Vault of the Archangel]] and [[Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose]] ?
