Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Sultai lands and graveyard engine commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The strategy focuses on accelerating mana on early turns, deploying Teval on turn 3, and attacking on turn 4 to mill cards, return lands to play, and generate a steady stream of Zombie tokens. The deck uses the graveyard as an extended hand through powerhouse recursion engines like Six, Life from the Loam, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide. Victory is achieved either by assembling an infinite loop with Gravecrawler and Phyrexian Altar or Warren Soultrader to drain the table with Ayara, First of Locthwain and The Meathook Massacre, or by overwhelming opponents with a massive overrun via Finale of Devastation or Craterhoof Behemoth. Supported by robust interaction, land destruction packages, and resilient protection engines like Sylvan Safekeeper, the deck grinds out massive card advantage while threatening a swift, compact finish.
