Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard midrange and reanimator strategy helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale. It focuses on accelerating mana on early turns, deploying Teval by Turn 3 or 4, and utilizing combat attack triggers to mill cards and return lands to the battlefield. Each card leaving the graveyard creates 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens, which fuel convoke spells, mana engines like Insidious Roots, and sacrifice outlets. The deck transitions into the late game by deploying heavy-hitting graveyard anchors such as Muldrotha, the Gravetide, The Gitrog Monster, The Scarab God, and Hoarding Broodlord. A well-timed Living Death or an explosive Augmenter Pugilist // Echoing Equation turns wide token boards into an overwhelming lethal force, supported by Wonder for evasion.
