What's dead may never die by SHAMANOODLE

Format: Commander

Commander: Teval, the Balanced Scale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Teval, the Balanced Scale is a Sultai self-mill deck: it fills its graveyard, then converts every leave-the-graveyard event into Zombie Druid tokens, Treasures, or cards. The primary plan is to assemble the Gravecrawler/Kheru Goldkeeper/Umbral Collar Zealot loop and drain with Blood Artist or Syr Konrad. Backup paths include Living Death mass reanimation, Field of the Dead and Scute Swarm token swarms boosted by Beastmaster Ascension, and Jarad flinging Multani. Teval herself supplies repeatable land recursion and token generation, but the shell also works through Teval's Judgment, Six, and Muldrotha; there is no hidden commander. The deck is a mid-speed graveyard combo/control hybrid with deep recursion and intentionally thin stack interaction.
