Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai graveyard-centric strategy commanded by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The game plan revolves around rapidly stocking the graveyard through self-mill creatures and dredge spells, using Teval's attack trigger to ramp lands and build an expanding army of Zombie Druid tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard. In the early game, cheap ramp pieces like Farseek and Rootcoil Creeper facilitate an early commander deployment. In the midgame, engines such as The Gitrog Monster, Six, and Ripples of Undeath accumulate substantial resource advantages. The deck's primary route to victory is resolving game-warping mass reanimation such as Living Death or Afterlife from the Loam, turning a full graveyard into an overwhelming army that gains evasion from Wonder and burns opponents via Syr Konrad, the Grim and The Scarab God. While vulnerable to targeted graveyard exile and lacking hard stax, its high internal redundancy provides dependable midgame pressure.
