Master the Betor, Kin to All Commander deck in Magic: The Gathering with this comprehensive guide.
This Sultai (black/green/blue) commander is all about moving cards from the graveyard to generate value.
If you like graveyard strategies, Teval, the Balanced Scale is the perfect commander choice for you.
Tevalmills you cards and removes any lands milled while giving you 2/2 Zombie tokens whenever cards leave the graveyard.
Teval’s effectonly triggers for each instant of a card leaving your graveyard.
However,this effect is not once per turn.
One thing Muldrothacan’t use from the graveyard are non-permanent spells.
Gravecrawler isa card you could keep casting from your graveyard, so long as you control another Zombie.
This makes it a great card to trigger Teval and alleffects that create tokenswhen a card leaves the graveyard.
Gravecrawler isn’t once per turn, making it trivial to loop it.
There is an easy infinite combo withGravecrawler and Phyrexian Altarthat only requires one other Zombie.
This is how the combo works.
At least one Zombie creature is on the battlefield.
Step 1: Activate Phyrexian Altar, sacrificing Gravecrawler to add one black mana.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1-2.
The biggest benefit of Tortured Existence is howeasy it makes getting your best creatures back from the graveyard.
All of this while triggering your primary permanents.
You need ways to mill yourself consistently, something best done with permanents.
Skull Prophet, Molt Tender, and Hedron Crab are all excellent choices that offer some utility.
Theprimary win condition of the deck is winning through combat.
Thebiggest weakness of the deck is its reliance on card synergies.
A lot of cards in the deck need another card to function to their maximum potential.
As such,removal can be especially backbreaking if it cuts off your engine.
