Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale commands a Sultai graveyard combo deck that leverages self-mill, reanimation, and token generation. The primary game plan fills the graveyard using enablers like Hermit Druid, Mesmeric Orb, and Entomb to set up devastating recursion spells such as Living Death, Reanimate, and Dread Return. From there, the deck executes lethal infinite loops using Gravecrawler with Phyrexian Altar, or Tortured Existence paired with Kheru Goldkeeper to drain opponents with Syr Konrad, the Grim, mill libraries with Altar of Dementia, or overrun the board with Craterhoof Behemoth. Teval fuels the engine by converting mill triggers into ramp and creating Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard.
