Strategy

"Teval, the Balanced Scale" is a Sultai Commander deck focusing on graveyard interaction, land ramp, and creature reanimation. The strategy revolves around filling your graveyard with creatures and lands using cards like Hedron Crab, Satyr Wayfinder, and Ramunap Excavator, then using cards like Oversold Cemetery and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant to reanimate creatures from your graveyard. The deck also includes powerful finishers like Avenger of Zendikar, Noxious Gearhulk, and Lord of Extinction to close out games. The good points of the deck include its strong synergy between its graveyard-focused cards, its ability to generate value by recurring creatures and lands, and its potential for explosive plays with cards like Avenger of Zendikar and Myriad Landscape. The deck also has a good mix of removal with cards like Putrefy and Tasigur, the Golden Fang, which can help deal with threats from opponents. However, the deck can struggle against heavy graveyard hate or exile effects, as it relies heavily on its graveyard for its strategy. Additionally, the deck may have a slower start if it doesn't draw its ramp or mill cards early on. Overall, "Teval, the Balanced Scale" is a versatile and powerful Commander deck that can be a lot of fun to play with its unique graveyard and reanimation theme.
