Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Sultai graveyard and aristocrats engine commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around accelerating mana in the opening turns, deploying Teval on Turn 3, and attacking on Turn 4 to mill cards, ramp lands directly from the graveyard, and generate an expanding army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck translates cards leaving the graveyard into board presence, mana velocity, and card draw via engines like Six, Life from the Loam, Tormod, the Desecrator, and The Gitrog Monster. It controls opposing boards through asymmetric edict effects like Dictate of Erebos and efficient interaction like Fierce Guardianship and Assassin's Trophy. The primary win condition is an infinite loop combining Gravecrawler and Phyrexian Altar, generating infinite mana, infinite Zombie tokens, and lethal life drain through cards like The Meathook Massacre, Cauldron of Essence, or Vein Ripper.
