Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, Arbiter of Virtue

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai deck is a graveyard-fueled value engine helmed by Teval, Arbiter of Virtue, whose delve ability turns a stocked graveyard into a mana advantage engine. The deck aggressively self-mills through Hedron Crab, Glimpse the Unthinkable, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, and Stitcher's Supplier, then leverages land recursion via Life from the Loam, Ramunap Excavator, Six, and Teval, the Balanced Scale to trigger landfall payoffs like Titania, Protector of Argoth and Nissa, Resurgent Animist. The primary win conditions are explosive X-spells - Torment of Hailfire and Exsanguinate - cast for massive values using delve, or a Finale of Devastation for X=10+ granting haste and a huge swing. Secondary paths include combat with the 6/6 flying lifelink commander suited with Eldrazi Conscription, and life-manipulation wins via Profane Transfusion and Repay in Kind.
