Deck overview

This Sultai deck is an explosive graveyard reanimator strategy piloted by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The deck focuses on filling the graveyard quickly through self-mill creatures and dredge spells, using Teval's attack trigger to accelerate land drops and generate 2/2 Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. The midgame converts this board presence and deep graveyard into rapid mana advantages with cards like Insidious Roots and Titans' Nest. The deck transitions into a lethal win through high-impact reanimation spells like Buried Alive, Victimize, and Living Death, which assemble the game-ending combination of Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Lord of Extinction to drain the entire table in a single action, or overrun opponents with an evasive zombie army enabled by Wonder.
