Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai lands and graveyard synergy strategy piloted by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around accelerating mana on the opening turns, deploying Teval on Turn 3, and attacking on Turn 4 to initiate a steady loop of self-mill, land recursion, and token creation. The deck treats the graveyard as an extended hand, using dredge, retrace, and reanimation to accumulate severe resource advantages. In the midgame, it transitions from value generation into an overwhelming board state by resolving mass land recursion spells like Lumra, Bellow of the Woods or Aftermath Analyst, generating dozens of tokens via Field of the Dead and Scute Swarm. The game concludes on Turn 7 via a wide overrun powered by Craterhoof Behemoth or an unanswerable Living Death. A flexible interaction suite protects key windows while controlling opposing threats.
