Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard-lands midrange deck commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard through self-mill creatures and recurring land drops with Teval's attack trigger, which simultaneously generates 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck accelerates ahead of curve using 2-mana ramp spells and Teval's repeatable land recursion, turning the graveyard into an accessible second hand via engines like Six, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, and Conduit of Worlds. As the graveyard fills with creatures and lands, the deck transitions from incremental token and mana value into decisive game-ending plays on Turn 6. The primary win condition revolves around resolving Living Death or deploying Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord alongside enormous threats like Lord of Extinction and Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar. By sacrificing a massive Lord of Extinction to Jarad's activated ability, the deck deals lethal direct life loss to all three opponents simultaneously, bypassing combat obstacles and eliminating the table in one decisive turn.
