Deck overview
This deck is a high-power Sultai graveyard and lands-matter engine helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around accelerating mana in the early turns, establishing self-mill engines, and converting graveyard movement into a wide board of creature tokens. Teval, the Balanced Scale synergizes directly with cards leaving the graveyard, generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens while ramping lands directly from the graveyard to the battlefield. The deck capitalizes on high-velocity mill effects like Hermit Druid, Buried Alive, and Mesmeric Orb to sculpt the graveyard into an extended hand. It then deploys mass reanimation spells or tutors for finishers like Craterhoof Behemoth and Avenger of Zendikar to execute a lethal combat attack. A robust suite of free and low-cost interaction defends the engine from opposing disruption while preventing opponents from executing faster proactive strategies.
