Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai (BUG) self-mill deck helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale is a graveyard-value engine that converts self-mill into incremental advantages. The primary game plan is to fill the graveyard using cheap mill effects and landfall triggers, then out-value opponents through land recursion, creature reanimation, and massive token generation. The commander provides repeatable land recursion on attack and a looming token army whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck wins through combat inevitability-overrun effects like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord sacrificing a giant Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, or a Living Death that floods the board with zombie tokens and key threats. There is no compact infinite combo; the win is a cumulative value crush that typically finishes between turns 8 and 9.
