Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale is the engine of a Sultai lands-and-graveyard combo deck. On the ground, Teval attacks to mill and returns lands from the graveyard, buying back the fetchlands and shocks that the deck sacrifices. The primary kill is the Shifting Woodland + Aftermath Analyst land loop, using Lotus Cobra/Tireless Provisioner/Squandered Resources to generate infinite mana and landfall, then winning with Finale of Devastation or Craterhoof Behemoth. A secondary reanimator drain uses Mikaeus/Yawgmoth/Gray Merchant. The commander is an accelerant rather than a required combo piece; recursion from Six, Lumra, and reanimation spells keeps the deck grinding when the loop is interrupted.
