Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard and landfall midrange deck commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around accelerating mana on early turns, deploying Teval, and attacking to mill cards while returning lands directly to the battlefield. Every card leaving the graveyard triggers Teval to produce 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck turns its graveyard into a second hand using powerful reanimation and retrace engines such as Six, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, and Reanimate. By Turn 6, explosive payoffs like Lumra, Bellow of the Woods trigger Field of the Dead to generate massive token boards, while Colossal Grave-Reaver and The Scarab God provide recurring pressure. Opponents are overwhelmed through compounded combat damage boosted by Jubilation and steady life drain from Cauldron of Essence. Flexible removal spells and channel lands keep opposing threats in check throughout the mid-game.
