Teval, the not so balanced by user8249559

Deck overview

This Sultai self-mill deck, helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale, is a graveyard-value engine that wins through infinite loops and token swarms. Teval's attack mills three, recurs a land from the graveyard, and - combined with the deck's many "cards leave your graveyard" triggers - produces a steady stream of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The primary plan is the Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + Pitiless Plunderer infinite loop, finished by Altar of the Brood or Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord; a second line uses Entomb/Buried Alive to set up Lord of Extinction + Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord for a table-wide drain. A deep recursion package (Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Six, Kotis, Sibsig Champion, Conduit of Worlds) keeps the engine running, while Craterhoof Behemoth and Finale of Devastation provide a combat finish.
