Deck overview

This Sultai deck is piloted by Teval, the Balanced Scale, emphasizing self-mill, land recursion, and token generation. The deck uses low-cost ramp to deploy Teval by Turn 3 or 4, leveraging Teval's attack trigger to ramp lands from the graveyard while generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The midgame builds critical mass through self-mill engines like Hedron Crab, Life from the Loam, and Buried Alive. The primary path to victory involves resolving a decisive mass reanimation spell—chiefly Living Death or Lich-Knights' Conquest—to flood the battlefield with high-impact threats such as Colossal Grave-Reaver, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Evasion is reliably provided by Wonder in the graveyard alongside basic Islands, enabling a lethal two-turn aerial assault supplemented by direct life-drain flings from Jarad.
