Teval, the Balanced Scale

Description

Teval, the Balanced Scale is a Mythic Rare legendary creature card numbered 8 in the 2025 Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander subset for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Chris Rahn, this Spirit Dragon commands a mana cost of {1}{B}{G}{U} and boasts a power and toughness of 4/4. As a three-color card with black, green, and blue identity, it offers versatile options for commanders seeking to leverage graveyard strategies. The card possesses flying, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers and apply immediate pressure to opponents. Its primary ability triggers whenever Teval attacks, milling three cards from the top of your library and potentially returning a land card from your graveyard to the battlefield in a tapped state. This interaction creates a continuous loop of card advantage and resource recovery. Furthermore, the card generates value whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard, creating a 2/2 black Zombie Druid creature token. This token production encourages aggressive gameplay and provides additional bodies to defend your commander or attack. Collectors of Commander format cards often seek out Teval, the Balanced Scale for its efficient mana value and synergistic abilities that reward graveyard interaction. The card's design fits seamlessly into the Tarkir: Dragonstorm aesthetic while providing strategic depth for competitive and casual play. The release of Tarkir: Dragonstorm brings new legends and mechanics to the game, making cards like Teval essential for players looking to innovate their gameplay. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or new to the trading card game, this card represents a compelling addition to any library focused on graveyard manipulation and token generation.
