Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard midrange and reanimator strategy piloted by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan focuses on deploying efficient early ramp to cast Teval on Turn 3, then attacking on Turn 4 to mill cards, ramp lands from the graveyard, and generate an army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The deck uses self-mill engines such as Life from the Loam, Stitcher's Supplier, Hedron Crab, and Six to rapidly fill the graveyard with high-impact creatures. It converts this setup into a decisive win on Turn 6 or 7 by casting mass reanimation spells like Living Death or Afterlife from the Loam, giving its board evasion with Wonder or flinging massive threats with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. While the deck features outstanding card flow and resilient alternate engines like Muldrotha, the Gravetide, it remains vulnerable to targeted graveyard hate and lacks dense spell-based protection.
