TEVAL, Balanced Scale by ToastyBrown

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Sultai self-mill deck treats the graveyard as a second library and land count as its primary scaling resource. Teval, the Balanced Scale is the accelerator: her attack mills three, repeatedly returns lands from the graveyard, and turns cards leaving the graveyard into 2/2 Zombie Druids. Once the yard is stocked, Muldrotha, Kotis, Six, and Conduit of Worlds allow the deck to keep playing through disruption. A number of land-based threats can close combat, but the cleanest kill is Jarad sacrificing a massive Lord of Extinction. Muldrotha acts as an unofficial hidden commander and gives the deck a second copy of its engine.
