Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Sultai reanimator and delve midrange strategy helmed by Teval, Arbiter of Virtue. The primary game plan focuses on rapidly filling the graveyard through self-mill engines such as Hermit Druid, Mesmeric Orb, and Hedron Crab. Once Teval enters the battlefield, every spell gains delve, allowing expensive, game-ending threats like Portal to Phyrexia, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, and Archon of Cruelty to be cast for negligible mana. These massive threats dismantle opposing boards and discard opposing hands, pivoting into an insurmountable resource advantage that closes out the game via combat damage by Turn 7. Alternatively, the deck can assemble an infinite life-drain loop using Bloodthirsty Conqueror and Enduring Tenacity, often fetched directly via an entwined Tooth and Nail. Strong free interaction like Force of Will and Force of Vigor shields critical windows.
