Teval, the Balanced Scale
Teval, the Balanced Scale Commander Deck
Teval, the Balanced Scale fuels a self-mill engine that fills the graveyard with lands, then exploits multiple effects that return those lands to the battlefield to trigger explosive landfall payoffs — generating tokens, drawing cards, and accelerating mana simultaneously. Numerous effects allow playing lands from the graveyard, and each time cards leave the graveyard through reanimation, replaying, or escape, Teval's triggered ability floods the board with Zombie tokens, which are further amplified by token-doubling and graveyard-departure synergies. The deck can lock opponents out of combat permanently using Constant Mists with graveyard-land recursion, or assemble the Gitrog Monster combo for infinite self-mill and near-infinite graveyard triggers to bury opponents under an unstoppable wave of tokens and value.
