Legendary Creature — Spirit Dragon
Flying Whenever Teval attacks, mill three cards. Then you may return a land card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, create a 2/2 black Zombie Druid creature token.
“Self-mill ramp that turns your graveyard into lands and zombie tokens.”
Teval, the Balanced Scale is a graveyard-enabled midrange commander that turns milling into resource generation. Every attack mills cards and recurs lands, while any graveyard interaction triggers token creation. The deck wants to lean into self-mill strategies—cards that fill your graveyard intentionally—to fuel both the land recursion and a growing army of Zombie Druid tokens. You're effectively converting mill into ramp and board presence, making your "drawback" into pure advantage.
The core gameplan is simple: swing with Teval, mill aggressively, get lands back, and generate tokens. You'll also play other graveyard-filling effects like Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, and Merfolk Secretkeeper to trigger tokens even when Teval isn't attacking. Build toward a midrange strategy where you're ramping with recursion, building a token army, and eventually overwhelming opponents with either the token swarm or combat damage from Teval and friends.

Skip expensive staples like Doubling Season; use budget token doublers like Parallel Lives, Doubling Token effects, and ramp with basics + affordable fetchlands instead of pricey ones.
