Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale is the engine of a Sultai self-mill landfall deck. The primary plan is to mill and reanimate, using Teval's attack trigger to recur lands while 'leave the graveyard' payoffs like Kheru Goldkeeper, Teval's Judgment, and Syr Konrad convert that motion into treasures, zombies, and damage. The secondary plan is combo: Kheru Goldkeeper plus Tortured Existence can loop a creature card, producing infinite drain with Syr Konrad or Undead Hand Ninja. Muldrotha acts as a hidden commander, granting repeatable permanent recursion, while Aftermath Analyst and Lumra return all lands. The commander is an acceleration and token engine rather than a required combo piece; the deck can pivot to big land swings, Avenger of Zendikar, or Summon: Titan if the loop is denied.
