Deck overview

This Sultai deck is helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale and focuses on self-mill, land recursion, and aristocrats combo finishes. The deck ramps on early turns using mana creatures and land searchers to deploy Teval on Turn 4. Attacking with Teval mills cards, ramps lands from the graveyard, and triggers a steady stream of 2/2 Zombie Druid creature tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The primary win condition revolves around an infinite sacrifice and drain loop utilizing Gravecrawler, Phyrexian Altar, and an aristocrat drain piece such as Blood Artist, Diregraf Captain, or Syr Konrad, the Grim. Backup routes include mass reanimation via Living Death, overrun combat with Craterhoof Behemoth and Wonder, or draining the table with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Lord of Extinction. The deck features exceptional engine recovery from the graveyard, balanced by modest stack interaction and protection.
