Deck overview

This is a Sultai self-mill lands deck built around Teval, the Balanced Scale. Her attack trigger mills three and immediately re-lands a land from the graveyard, and every card that leaves the graveyard converts into a 2/2 Zombie Druid token. The core loop is to mill lands into the graveyard, return them to play through Aftermath Analyst, World Shaper, Will of the Sultai, Glacierwood Siege (Sultai mode), Icetill Explorer, Hedge Shredder, and a hidden-commander Muldrotha, the Gravetide in the 99, then cash each landfall in with Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, Hedron Crab, Ruin Crab, and Field of the Dead. Wins come from Craterhoof Behemoth overruns, mass landfall drain, opponent mill, and a loop-based layer built around Retreat to Coralhelm + Wight of the Reliquary and Intruder Alarm + Insidious Roots. This is a midrange value engine with a meaningful land-combo ceiling.
