Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale commands a synergistic Sultai midrange deck that blends self-mill, landfall acceleration, and graveyard recursion into an overwhelming token and reanimation engine. The deck utilizes low-cost ramp spells like Farseek, Three Visits, and Nature's Lore to deploy Teval ahead of curve on turn 3. Once Teval attacks, each trigger mills cards, returns lands directly to the battlefield, and generates 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. The graveyard functions as an extended hand through enablers like Six, Conduit of Worlds, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide. As lands accumulate, secondary token engines like Field of the Dead and Insidious Roots widen the board, while Wonder grants unconditional flying to close games. The deck transitions into a lethal threat around turn 6 using game-ending spells like Living Death or group drain via Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and The Scarab God, presenting a resilient midrange game plan capable of grinding through removal.
