Teval Takes the Wing
Teval, Arbiter of Virtue is a Mythic legend that shifts how you approach both graveyard resources and spell sequencing. This Legendary Creature appears in near mint condition from Tarkir Dragonstorm and brings a 6 6 body with flying and lifelink to the table, rewarding careful planning while demanding discipline. Decks that value delve will find Teval alters the math on every cast because spells you cast have delve, letting you convert a stocked graveyard into cheaper, more explosive turns.
Play is straightforward but precise. Teval grants your spells access to delve and then taxes your life total equal to each spell's mana value, so timing and sequencing matter more than raw card advantage. The card sits comfortably in multicolor control shells and sacrifice or self mill builds that can reliably fuel delve without leaving you vulnerable. Add Teval to a Commander or Standard adjacent build when you want a durable flying lifelink engine that reshapes graveyard usage and forces you to weigh every cast.
