Deck overview

This deck is an optimized Sultai graveyard and landfall engine commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. It pairs rapid self-mill and land recursion with aristocrats combos to pressure the board and secure decisive finishes. The early game focuses on deploying efficient mana ramp like Birds of Paradise, Farseek, and Nature's Lore, while stocking the graveyard using Stitcher's Supplier, Ripples of Undeath, and Life from the Loam. Once Teval enters the battlefield, attacking mills cards and returns lands to play, creating 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The deck turns this token presence and full graveyard into immediate victories. It can close games with an overwhelming Craterhoof Behemoth overrun, a game-flipping Living Death, or an infinite sacrifice loop featuring Gravecrawler, Phyrexian Altar, and Bastion of Remembrance. High-end recursion from Six and Muldrotha, the Gravetide provides outstanding resilience against opposing removal.
