Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard midrange strategy commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. It focuses on accelerating mana, milling cards into the graveyard, and converting graveyard movement into board presence and card advantage. In the opening turns, the deck deploys early ramp and self-mill engines to cast Teval on Turn 3 or 4. Once Teval attacks, each attack mills cards and returns lands to the battlefield, generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. Mid-game engines like Kishla Skimmer, Life from the Loam, and Meren of Clan Nel Toth compound resource advantages. On Turn 6, the deck pivots to a decisive win by resolving Living Death, creating an overwhelming board with Avenger of Zendikar, or sacrificing a massive Lord of Extinction to Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to drain all opponents at once.
