Deck overview

This Sultai deck is led by Teval, Arbiter of Virtue, leveraging a deep self-mill shell to fuel game-ending delve spells. During the opening turns, the deck rapidly fills its graveyard using efficient enablers like Hermit Druid, Stitcher's Supplier, and dredge cards. Once Teval enters the battlefield, every spell in hand gains delve, enabling high-mana spells to be cast using cards in the graveyard. The primary win condition combines Teval's life-loss casting trigger with cards that prevent game loss at zero life, such as Darksteel Angel, Lich's Mastery, and Pact Weapon. After reducing its own life total to zero or near zero, the deck resolves Repay in Kind to set all opponents to zero life, eliminating the table in one shot. If disrupted, the deck pivots to recurring large threats like Vilis, Broker of Blood for combat damage.
