Deck overview

Teval, Arbiter of Virtue leads a resilient Sultai graveyard reanimator deck designed to convert aggressive self-mill into rapid board presence and overwhelming combat finishes. The strategy utilizes powerful dredge enablers such as Golgari Grave-Troll, Stinkweed Imp, and Life from the Loam alongside targeted setup spells like Entomb and Buried Alive to fill the graveyard quickly. Once stocked, the deck exploits Teval, Arbiter of Virtue's universal delve granting ability to cast massive spells at steep discounts while mitigating life loss through Teval's 6/6 flying lifelink body. Alternatively, redundant reanimation spells like Reanimate, Animate Dead, and Victimize cheat heavy hitters like Ancient Brass Dragon and Muldrotha, the Gravetide into play as early as Turn 4. The deck protects its engines with Sylvan Safekeeper and targeted countermagic, recovering effortlessly from board wipes to overwhelm the table in combat by Turn 7.
