Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard and lands midrange strategy commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard with self-mill creatures and spells, triggering Teval's attack ability to ramp lands directly from the graveyard while generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck turns land drops and graveyard movement into compounding value through engines like Insidious Roots, The Gitrog Monster, and Six. In the mid-game, it pivots to decisive win conditions by resolving mass reanimation through Living Death or triggering explosive landfall waves with Avenger of Zendikar, Scute Swarm, and Aftermath Analyst. Opponents face continuous life drain from Syr Konrad, the Grim and The Scarab God, culminating in an evasive alpha strike enabled by Wonder. While vulnerable to mass graveyard exile, the deck features redundant recursion and resilient backup commanders to maintain pressure.
