Teval, the Balanced Scale by timo1205

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale leads a Sultai self-mill strategy that treats the graveyard as a second hand. The primary plan is to mill heavily through Teval, Sidisi, Stitcher's Supplier, and landfall engines; recur lands with Ramunap Excavator, Lumra, and Conduit of Worlds; then close with Craterhoof Behemoth combat, Syr Konrad/Ayara drain, or the infinite Ayara-Phyrexian Altar-Gravecrawler loop. A strong secondary path reanimates large threats via Reanimate, Living Death, and Cauldron of Essence. Teval's attack turns milling into land drops, and every graveyard exit creates Zombie Druid tokens, tying the whole engine together. The deck is resilient and can pivot between combat and combo.
