"Orzhov Afterlife"

The Orzhov believe in an afterlife , not the sort where you just sing and lounge around all day with your angelic wings. They believe that you need to pay them what you owe even in the afterlife.

And so their mechanic asks for their creatures to live and die and live again in their service in the form of spirits. It seems odd to me that one creature can have more than 1 spirit in them but then again for the Orzhov it just means more servants.

I instantly thought of the Teysa , Orzhov Scion EDH deck that has been dormant since forever in one of my Fat Bundle boxes. Teysa would like these new Afterlife creatures because they are both black and white as they should be.

The Orzhov decks can be a bit controlling having access to a lot of mass removal as well as the fact that even if they kill all their creatures they can still have a bunch of Flying Ghosts fighting for them in the next turn while all of your creatures just go to the graveyard.

Oh well. Quite unfair really but when you think about it almost everyone owes the Orzhov some coin. Chances are you will still see everyone in the Afterlife.
