Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Lands and Graveyard Midrange strategy led by Teval, the Balanced Scale. It combines early land acceleration and focused self-mill to build a packed graveyard. Once Teval attacks, it generates continuous value by recurring lands and producing 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck compounds this board advantage with land-matter engines like Titania, Protector of Argoth, The Gitrog Monster, and Insidious Roots. It finishes games decisively on Turn 6 by reanimating Craterhoof Behemoth or casting Living Death, overrunning all three opponents in a single combat step. A versatile removal package, instant-speed protection from Sylvan Safekeeper, and resilient recursion engines provide excellent recovery against board wipes and single-target removal.
