Teval, the Unbalanced Scale by ProfessorTuukar

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teval is a self-mill value engine that turns the graveyard into lands and 2/2 Zombie Druids. The deck's primary plan is to fill its graveyard, replay lands for massive landfall triggers, and chain Aftermath Analyst/Shifting Woodland loops into infinite mana and tokens. Its most compact secondary win uses Kheru Goldkeeper plus Tortured Existence; with Teval in play this generates endless tokens and enough Treasure to cast Finale of Devastation into Craterhoof Behemoth. Tutors and recursion keep lines redundant. The commander accelerates but is not required; the deck can function as a BUG reanimator/lands-matter pile. Combat is the usual kill, usually through trample, after one of the loops is established.
