Deck overview

This Sultai deck pairs graveyard recursion and landfall acceleration under Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan accelerates through early two-mana ramp spells and self-mill cards, deploying Teval on Turn 3. Starting on Turn 4, Teval attacks to mill three cards, return lands directly to the battlefield, and create 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck uses engines like Life from the Loam, Hedge Shredder, and Icetill Explorer to build substantial mana and token armies. It closes the game on Turn 6 either by reanimating Lord of Extinction and sacrificing it to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord for a simultaneous table-wide life drain kill, or by swarming opponents with flying tokens aided by Wonder and Avenger of Zendikar.
