Tebal in Paradise

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, Arbiter of Virtue

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Sultai self-mill/reanimator build helmed by Teval, Arbiter of Virtue. The deck's plan is to fill its own graveyard early, then use mass reanimation and delve to overwhelm the table with high-impact threats. Teval gives every spell delve, turning the stacked graveyard into a mana source at the cost of life, which is converted into cards by Vilis, Broker of Blood and into Treasures by Kheru Goldkeeper. The real engines live in the 99: Lier, Disciple of the Drowned, Six, Glarb, Calamity's Augur, and Teval, the Balanced Scale supply recursion, card flow, and additional self-mill. Primary wins are a kicked Rite of Replication on Gray Merchant of Asphodel, an Auton Soldier myriad-drain chain, or a lethal combat step from Rise of the Dark Realms, Avenger of Zendikar, and Ulamog, the Defiler after a board of Zombie Druids and reanimated bombs.
