Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Sultai Lands and Graveyard Midrange strategy commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. It accelerates early with efficient mana dorks and land searchers to cast Teval on Turn 3. On Turn 4, Teval begins attacking to mill cards, ramp lands from the graveyard, and generate 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck leverages powerful self-mill engines like Six, The Gitrog Monster, and Blossoming Tortoise to turn the graveyard into an expansive second hand. It wins by Turn 5 either through combat overrun using Craterhoof Behemoth and Finale of Devastation or through an infinite sacrifice loop featuring Gravecrawler and Phyrexian Altar alongside Ayara, First of Locthwain or The Meathook Massacre. A robust interactive package and dedicated protection like Sylvan Safekeeper and Fierce Guardianship keep the engine resilient against disruption.
