Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard midrange and reanimation strategy led by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The early game focuses on ramping mana and stocking the graveyard with self-mill enablers such as Satyr Wayfinder, Grisly Salvage, and Skull Prophet. Once Teval hits the battlefield, attacking fuels the graveyard, ramps lands into play, and creates an army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. In the mid-to-late game, the deck leverages mass reanimation spells like Living Death, Afterlife from the Loam, and Bringer of the Last Gift to return game-ending threats including Lord of Extinction, Avenger of Zendikar, and Consuming Aberration. Evasion from Wonder enables lethal combat swings across the table, while Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord offers direct burn by sacrificing giant creatures. The deck recovers well through redundant graveyard recursion, though it remains vulnerable to targeted graveyard hate and lacks heavy stack protection.
