Sultai Arisen ++++ Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander by Ado-Ra
Format: Commander
Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale
Bracket: 2
Deck overview
This deck is a Sultai graveyard-value engine helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale, a flying commander that mills on attack, ramps lands from the graveyard, and generates Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The primary game plan is to aggressively self-mill through cards like Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, Hedron Crab, and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, then use the graveyard as a second hand. Recurring lands triggers landfall payoffs (Avenger of Zendikar, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen), while reanimation spells like Reanimate, Victimize, and Living Death bring back powerful creatures. Token generation from Teval's second ability and from cards like Syr Konrad, the Grim and Insidious Roots provides a secondary combat and drain path. The deck wins through overwhelming combat damage from an army of plants, zombies, and reanimated threats, or through life-drain effects that exploit the constant flux of cards in and out of the graveyard.
