Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard midrange strategy built around Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around casting Teval on Turn 4 and attacking on subsequent turns to mill cards, ramp lands from the graveyard, and generate an army of 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens. As the graveyard fills, the deck transitions into a lethal threat using high-impact payoffs such as The Scarab God, Dictate of Erebos, and mass reanimation spells. The deck features dependable card selection through self-mill engines like Grapple with the Past, Forbidden Alchemy, and Midnight Tilling, paired with targeted removal like Assassin's Trophy. However, the deck operates at a deliberate pace due to a lack of low-cost mana acceleration and instant-speed stack protection. It aims to establish superior board presence and grind out opponents across multiple combat steps and life-drain triggers.
