Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard-centric midrange strategy commanded by Teval, Arbiter of Virtue. Teval turns the graveyard into immediate mana velocity by granting delve to every spell cast, offset by life loss equal to mana value that is softened by Teval's 6/6 flying lifelink body. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard rapidly in early turns with cards like Stitcher's Supplier, Grisly Salvage, and Aftermath Analyst alongside standard mana rocks. Once Teval lands on Turn 4, the deck uses delve to cheat high-cost bombs, massive card engines like Vilis, Broker of Blood, and sweeping board clearers into play far ahead of curve. Lethal finishes are achieved through combat damage from Teval and token swarms, backed by high-mana reach spells like Exsanguinate and Villainous Wealth. While powerful, the strategy requires careful life-total management and remains susceptible to targeted graveyard hate.
