Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Sultai Lands and Graveyard combo deck helmed by Teval, the Balanced Scale. The strategy uses self-mill and land recursion to ramp, build wide Zombie Druid boards, and assemble game-winning sacrifice loops. Its main win condition resolves around sacrificing Protean Hulk to tutor Warren Soultrader, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Gravecrawler, draining all opponents instantaneously. Alternate avenues leverage attrition from recurring lands like Strip Mine, token generation from Field of the Dead and Scute Swarm, and heavy value via Muldrotha, the Gravetide and Six. Robust free interaction like Fierce Guardianship and Deadly Rollick, paired with Sylvan Safekeeper, insulates key turns from opposing disruption.
