Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale leads a high-power Sultai deck that unites self-mill, land recursion, and mass reanimation. The primary strategy accelerates mana in the opening turns through efficient ramp such as Exploration and Birds of Paradise, landing Teval by Turn 3. On Turn 4, Teval attacks to mill cards, ramp lands from the graveyard, and generate 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. Deep self-mill from Life from the Loam, Entomb, and The Gitrog Monster rapidly stocks the graveyard with massive payoffs like Lord of Extinction, Avenger of Zendikar, and Wonder. On Turn 5, a resolved Living Death or Victimize brings this army onto the battlefield, threatening immediate flying lethal damage on Turn 6 or direct table-wide drain via Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. Backed by free countermagic like Force of Will and Fierce Guardianship, recurring Strip Mine land denial, and resilient recursion, the deck maintains relentless tempo and card flow.
