Teval, the Balanced Scale
Teval, the Balanced Scale Commander Deck
Teval, the Balanced Scale fuels this mill-focused deck by attacking to fill graveyards and recovering lands from them, while its second ability converts any cards leaving the graveyard into a growing army of Zombie Druid tokens. The deck accelerates opponent mill through draw-triggered enchantments like Sphinx's Tutelage and Psychic Corrosion, landfall-triggered mill, and massive single-shot mill spells, with Fraying Sanity doubling all graveyard fill and serving as the engine behind the primary win conditions of Traumatize plus Fraying Sanity or Maddening Cacophony plus Fraying Sanity to eliminate opponents in one explosive turn. A secondary gameplan leverages the overflowing graveyards for value, reanimating powerful creatures, casting spells from the yard, and growing threats like Consuming Aberration and Lord of Extinction to enormous sizes as a backup combat win.
