Teval, the Balanced Scale cEDH stats
How it plays & wins
This is a Sultai graveyard midrange deck, closer to a precon-level pod than a cEDH combo list. It ramps with Sol Ring, Cultivate, Farseek, and Sakura-Tribe Elder while filling the yard through Teval's attack triggers, Grisly Salvage, Forbidden Alchemy, and Stitcher's Supplier. Recursive bodies like Gravecrawler and Reassembling Skeleton keep the pressure on. Life from the Loam, Crawling Sensation, and Conduit of Worlds turn the graveyard into a steady source of land drops.
There is no combo here, so the win is through the board. Living Death, Necromantic Selection, Victimize, and Meren bring back big threats such as Avenger of Zendikar, Lord of Extinction, Junji, and Noxious Gearhulk. Avenger plus replayed lands builds a Plant army, and Casualties of War resets opposing boards. Honestly, the list doesn't show one clear finishing line, so expect a combat win after a reanimation turn.
