Teval, the Balanced Scale

Teval, the Balanced Scale Commander Deck

Teval, the Balanced Scale drives a self-mill and graveyard recursion engine, attacking repeatedly to fill the graveyard with lands and creatures while generating a steady stream of Zombie tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard through any means. The deck leverages land recursion and loam effects to keep reloading the graveyard, with cards that move between the graveyard and hand or battlefield triggering repeated token creation and enabling powerful reanimation spells to bring back game-ending threats. The primary win conditions are assembling The Gitrog Monster with Dakmor Salvage for near-infinite self-mill and graveyard triggers, or looping Kheru Goldkeeper with a discard outlet like Tortured Existence to generate infinite triggers, both of which flood the board with tokens that can be buffed or leveraged into a lethal attack.
