Deck overview

This is a Sultai self-mill lands deck helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The plan is to fill the graveyard quickly, recur lands for explosive mana and landfall value, and convert every card leaving the yard into 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens via Teval (and redundant payoffs like Tormod, the Desecrator and Teval's Judgment). Primary wins are layered infinite loops-chiefly Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar with a leave-yard outlet-and overwhelming combat through token swarms capped by Craterhoof Behemoth or Avenger of Zendikar. Secondary paths include Syr Konrad, the Grim drain, Rise of the Dark Realms / Breach the Multiverse reanimation piles, and The Scarab God attrition. Teval is an efficient 4-mana engine that mills, ramps a land on attack, and prints tokens, but the 99 carries multiple independent recursion commanders and combo lines, so the deck is not glued to the command zone.
