Deck overview

This deck leverages Teval, the Balanced Scale to helm a dedicated Sultai graveyard and lands-matter engine. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard quickly through self-mill creatures and dredge spells, using Teval's attack trigger to ramp lands directly from the graveyard while generating an army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. Mana acceleration into early self-mill fuels explosive mid-game turns with engines like Conduit of Worlds, Life from the Loam, and Meren of Clan Nel Toth. The primary victory condition arrives on Turn 6 by resolving Living Death to clear opposing boards and reanimate massive threats such as Lord of Extinction, Consuming Aberration, and Avenger of Zendikar, often granting them evasion with Wonder. Alternatively, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord can sacrifice high-power beaters to bypass combat entirely. While highly resilient to creature removal, the deck remains vulnerable to dedicated graveyard exile.
