Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Graveyard Aristocrats strategy led by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The primary game plan revolves around filling the graveyard through efficient self-mill enablers such as Stitcher's Supplier, Hedron Crab, and Perpetual Timepiece, then using Teval to ramp lands and generate an army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck leverages high-impact reanimation targets like Lord of Extinction, Massacre Wurm, and The Scarab God to dominate the battlefield while aristocrat drain engines like Syr Konrad, the Grim, Diregraf Captain, and Blood Artist convert creature deaths and zone transitions into direct opponent life loss. While the deck possesses strong resilience and backup lines through cards like Muldrotha, the Gravetide and Meren of Clan Nel Toth, it operates without proactive stax pieces and remains vulnerable to dedicated graveyard exile and mass sweepers.
