Deck overview

This Sultai deck is helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale, focusing on graveyard self-mill, land recursion, and token generation. The early game establishes rapid mana development using low-cost ramp and self-mill pieces like Stitcher's Supplier, Grisly Salvage, and Satyr Wayfinder. Once Teval enters combat, every attack mills resources and returns lands to play, generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck compounds this board presence using Insidious Roots, Field of the Dead, and The Scarab God. Victory is achieved by converting broad token boards into lethal combat damage using Craterhoof Behemoth—often reanimated with Reanimate, Dread Return, or Victimize—with Wonder providing evasion. Backup plans leverage direct life drain via Syr Konrad, the Grim and Mirkwood Bats or land locks using Life from the Loam and Strip Mine.
