Teval, the Balanced Scale

Teval, the Balanced Scale Commander Deck

Teval, the Balanced Scale drives a self-mill and graveyard recursion engine, filling the graveyard through repeated milling on attacks and via numerous mill-on-enter effects, then converting cards leaving the graveyard into a steady stream of Zombie tokens while recovering lands directly onto the battlefield to accelerate development. Teval's Judgment amplifies this loop by generating additional value — cards, Treasure, or more tokens — each time cards cycle out of the graveyard, making every recursion event multiply in payoff. The deck wins by assembling a massive board of tokens and recurred threats, then closing with a combat overrun through Craterhoof Behemoth or draining opponents through sacrifice outlets like Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, often enabled by returning key finishers through reanimation spells or Living Death.
