Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai lands and graveyard midrange strategy piloted by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around filling the graveyard through efficient self-mill tools like Stitcher's Supplier, Hermit Druid, and Life from the Loam. Teval enters play on Turn 3 and begins attacking on Turn 4, steadily returning lands to the battlefield while creating an expanding army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck compounds this advantage using powerful engine pieces such as Six, The Gitrog Monster, Titania, Protector of Argoth, and Field of the Dead. High-impact payoffs like Living Death, Avenger of Zendikar, and a tutorable Dark Depths package create lethal board states around Turn 6. Supported by Wonder for evasive flying damage and robust interactive spells including Force of Will and Assassin's Trophy, the deck transitions smoothly from resilient resource accumulation to a decisive combat finish on Turn 8.
