Deck overview

This deck leverages Teval, the Balanced Scale to unify Sultai self-mill with explosive landfall mechanics. Early turns focus on accelerating mana through low-curve creatures like Birds of Paradise and filling the graveyard with enablers such as Hedron Crab and Aftermath Analyst. Once Teval attacks, each combat step recurs lands while generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards depart the graveyard. In the mid-game, powerful enablers like The Gitrog Monster, Six, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide convert the graveyard into a second hand. The endgame culminates on Turn 6 with massive land recursion spells like Lumra, Bellow of the Woods or mass reanimation with Living Death, flooding the battlefield with Zombie tokens via Field of the Dead and Teval, which overrun the table with trample granted by Brawn or life drain from Syr Konrad, the Grim.
