Deck overview

This is a Sultai graveyard-value deck led by Teval, the Balanced Scale. Its normal game plan is to put lands and creatures into the graveyard, attack with Teval, the Balanced Scale to mill and recover lands, and turn cards leaving the graveyard into Zombie Druids. Life from the Loam, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Conduit of Worlds, Icetill Explorer, and The Gitrog Monster extend that resource loop. The deck can then deploy large threats such as Colossal Grave-Reaver, Noxious Gearhulk, or Rise of the Dark Realms. Its main weakness is that value generation is not the same as a reliable win. The list has no compact two-card combo, no dependable library-exhaustion line for Thassa's Oracle, and no sustained lock. It interacts reasonably well but must spend significant mana to protect an expensive, creature-dependent engine.
