Sultai Arisen | Commander Precon Deck

A Sultai Tarkir: Dragonstorm graveyard deck led by Teval, the Balanced Scale (or Kotis, Sibsig Champion) that turns self-mill and recursion into steady value. It wins by reanimating threats and snowballing advantage until combat closes it.

Sultai Arisen Deck Notes

Kotis, Sibsig Champion leads a Sultai graveyard midrange deck that’s built to get value out of every creature twice. You self-mill and loot to stock the graveyard, then repeatedly cast or reanimate creatures with strong ETB effects and graveyard synergies. Kotis grows as you loop value, turning your commander into a legitimate threat while the rest of your deck keeps the engine running. The early game is about setup; the mid game is where the recursion starts feeling relentless. Once the graveyard is stocked, opponents are forced into a losing proposition: kill your threats and you replay them, ignore your threats and you bury them in triggers. You win through a combination of big creature combat, incidental life drain, and the simple inevitability of having access to more resources than the table can answer. It’s not flashy, but it’s powerful in the way Sultai decks often are: everything you do replaces itself and then some. If you like grindy games where your graveyard feels like a toolbox and a win condition, Sultai Arisen is a satisfying recursion engine.
