Teval, Balance in Scale
Teval, the Balanced Scale is a compact commander that blends graveyard recursion with steady board development. As a Legendary Creature Spirit Dragon with flying, Teval mills three cards when attacking and often returns a land to the battlefield tapped, which translates into reliable late game stabilization and value. The card rewards careful sequencing and deckbuilding that prioritizes graveyard interaction and redundancy in land choices.
Teval also turns incidental graveyard movement into board presence. Each time one or more cards leave your graveyard you get a 2/2 black Zombie Druid token, which meshes with sacrifice synergies and token buffers. Use Teval to lock in incremental advantage, refill your mana base, and generate chump blockers while you dig for threats and answers. Add it to decks that exploit milling, recursion, and token synergies to realize consistent, repeatable value.
