IDK Teval by bud

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale is a self-mill/reanimator engine that turns every graveyard exit into Zombie Druid tokens and returns lands from the yard to ramp. The primary plan is to mill aggressively, recur large threats with Reanimate-style effects, then win through Craterhoof Behemoth pumped by the token army. The fastest secondary layer is Teval + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar, which generates infinite tokens and mana. There is no true hidden commander; Winter, Sidisi, and Glarb are support engines. The deck can also pivot to a Marit Lage beatdown via Dark Depths, but that is a slow backup. Dense tutors and free interaction make the game plan consistent.
