I think I should start by explaining exactly how this combo works, and why. Teysa triggers off black creatures going to the graveyard, and puts white 1/1 Spirit creature tokens into play. Darkest Hour makes all creatures black, so the Spirit tokens Teysa creates are black instead of white. When a Spirit token is put into a graveyard, it is immediately replaced by another exactly like it. I should also note that because Darkest Hour makes all your creatures black (instead of their normal colors), you can't use Teysa's first ability because you no longer control any white creatures. Therefore, if you have a third combo piece, one that lets you sacrifice creatures for some effect, you can sacrifice Spirit tokens forever and keep getting replacements. That's what the Ghoul, Altar, and Ritual are for I assume. One problem-- Forbidden ritual states "nontoken permanent", meaning you can't sacrifice the Spirits to it. It'll have to come out.
Next, you
had a
complaint
with
Ravenous
Rats. In
their place,
I
would
suggest
Orzhov
Guildmage.
His casting
cost is a
bit more
forgiving
than
Ravenous
Rats's, and
he gives you
a backup
plan for
winning if
the Teysa
combo falls
through.
Also, he can
block 1/1's
and live.
Now, to
replace
those four
cards I
dropped. My
first
impulse is
Dimir
Machinations,
simply
because it
can
transmute
into Teysa
or the
Ghoul.
Another
idea, if you
have bad
mana
problems, is
four Orzhov
Signet, or
perhaps four
more lands.
Which brings
me to the
mana
problems you
mentioned.
Well, my
first piece
of advice
would be to
add Godless
Shrine, but
since they
cost an
ungodly
amount of
money, I
won't press
the issue.
What you
might want
to try is a
set of
Orzhov
Basilica.
Much less
expensive
than the
Shrine, and
almost as
good. Then
the other 16
lands can be
an even
split-- 8
Swamp and 8
Plains. The
Orzhov
Guildmages
should've
softened the
deck's mana
requirements
anyway.
