Deck overview

This Sultai deck is a graveyard-centric combo and midrange engine led by Teval, the Balanced Scale. Teval fills the graveyard via combat, ramps lands back to the board, and floods the battlefield with Zombie Druids whenever cards leave the graveyard. The primary game plan revolves around rapidly filling the graveyard through self-mill, then converting leave-the-graveyard triggers into infinite loops. Key combo lines utilize Tortured Existence with Kheru Goldkeeper or Insidious Roots and Phyrexian Altar, or Gravecrawler sacrifice loops, draining opponents with Syr Konrad, the Grim, milling them out with Altar of Dementia, or overrunning them with Craterhoof Behemoth and Finale of Devastation.
