Deck overview

This deck is an optimized Sultai Graveyard Landfall engine commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan combines self-mill, land recursion, and token generation into a resilient and explosive resource loop. In the early turns, the deck accelerates mana using pieces like Lotus Cobra, Tireless Provisioner, and Exploration Broodship, deploying Teval by Turn 3 or 4. Attacking with Teval fills the graveyard, ramps lands onto the battlefield, and builds a wide army of Zombie Druid tokens. The midgame leverages powerful engines such as The Gitrog Monster, Life from the Loam, Six, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide to generate overwhelming card and mana advantage. The deck closes the game decisively on Turn 5 using tutors like Natural Order or Buried Alive into Craterhoof Behemoth, granting lethal combat buffs to the token swarm. Backup win conditions include mass land resurrection with Aftermath Analyst and extra turn loops via Walk the Aeons.
