Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale leads a Sultai graveyard and lands strategy that translates self-mill and recursion into an overwhelming board presence. Teval fuels the engine on attack by milling cards and ramping lands while generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave your graveyard. The deck wins primarily through infinite sacrifice loops using Gravecrawler and Phyrexian Altar alongside Syr Konrad, the Grim or Altar of Dementia to drain or mill opponents out. Alternatively, the deck can leverage explosive landfall triggers from Scute Swarm, Avenger of Zendikar, and Field of the Dead, culminating in a lethal combat overrun powered by Craterhoof Behemoth.
