Teval-ing the Scales by ranundine

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai graveyard-lands value deck helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale aims to fill its graveyard through self-mill, then leverage that resource for relentless land recursion, token generation, and eventual overwhelming board presence. Teval's attack mills three cards and returns a land from the graveyard to the battlefield tapped, while her leaves-graveyard trigger creates a steady stream of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck pairs these tokens with landfall payoffs like Avenger of Zendikar and Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, and finishes with Craterhoof Behemoth for a massive trample swing or Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to drain the table. Secondary win conditions include Lord of Extinction and Consuming Aberration as enormous beaters. The deck is a slow, grindy value engine that relies on incremental advantage rather than fast combos.
