Deck overview

This Sultai deck is built around Teval, the Balanced Scale, combining aggressive self-mill, land recursion, and aristocrat token generation. Early turns focus on accelerating mana with green land-ramp spells to deploy Teval on turn 3 or 4. Once operational, Teval's attack trigger mills cards and returns lands to play, continuously generating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. Mid-game turns leverage heavy graveyard access through Six, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, and The Gitrog Monster to generate overwhelming card advantage. The deck transitions into lethal threat states on turn 6 using mass reanimation like Living Death, massive landfall ramp with Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, or token swarms granted flying by Wonder. Alternatively, the deck can assemble an infinite aristocrats loop with Gravecrawler and Phyrexian Altar to close the game immediately.
