Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard-landfall midrange engine commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan accelerates mana on early turns, mills cards into the graveyard, and deploys Teval to convert attacks into land ramp and 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck turns the graveyard into an expansive toolbox using recursion engines like Six, Meren of Clan Nel Toth, and Chthonian Nightmare. Midgame turns apply pressure through token swarms generated by Field of the Dead and Insidious Roots, while recurring disruption like Plaguecrafter and Druid of Purification keeps opposing boards clear. The deck finishes games on Turns 6 to 7 through explosive mass reanimation with Living Death, overrun combat damage with Overwhelming Stampede, or unblockable life-drain triggers from Syr Konrad, the Grim and The Scarab God. High redundancy and deep card flow provide resilience against conventional removal.
