Reanimation Central by Enellen

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Sultai self-mill/reanimator value deck built around Teval, the Balanced Scale. The plan is to fill the graveyard early, deploy repeated recursion engines, and then overwhelm the table with zombie tokens, armies, and reanimated bombs like Archon of Cruelty, Scourge of Nel Toth, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. The Scarab God provides a durable, self-recursing alternate win through upkeep drain and token copies. There are no infinite combos; the deck wins through mass reanimation, devotion drain, and combat. Teval is an accelerator and token payoff rather than a required combo piece - if she is answered, the 99 contains several "hidden commanders" including Gisa and Geralf, Kotis, Sibsig Champion, and Havengul Lich that keep the graveyard engine running.
