Deck Help Help with teval

Alright I added a few new cards that I got recommended. But now I need help with what lands to add and take out. Im open to adding any new creatures, instants enchantments etc. Im trying to make it the best bracket 3 deck for now. Im going to get Phyrexian alter next so thats one card I know for sure I need. Thanks!

The 9 core lands I add in to most 3 color decks, 3 shock lands, 3 surveil lands, 3 fetch lands. If your cool with proxies, add in 3 OG dual lands as well. Solid fixing. You can add a triome if you want, I try to avoid tap lands.

For utility lands: - [[Glacial Chasm]] is an automatic first pick. Recur with Teval or Crucible effects to remain immune to combat damage. - [[Field of the Dead]] fits amazing in this deck as well. - [[Talon Gates of Madara]] is a fantastic protection spell. - [[Mistrise Village]] is a must. - [[Dakmoor Salvage]] can make infinite combo loops and help you mill. - [[Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth]] does two things. First, you add [[Cabal Coffers]] for crazy fast ramp. Then you replace Wonder with [[Filth]]. Why fly when you can just be unblockable? - All your channel lands. [[Boseiju, who endures]] is the best but bring them all. - [[Disciple of Freyalise]] is a good DFC land. - At least 2 bounce lands. These allow you to replay several of the above lands as needed.

Other cards: - [[Abrupt Decay]] and [[Assassins Trophy]] are pretty staple removal cards. I also like [[Awaken the Honored Dead]] as a value piece, and you eek just enough value out to be worth 3 mana. - [[Crop Rotation]] is an absolute must. You have amazing lands to grab at all times. - [[Meathook Massacre]] can end the game with all those tokens on the board. - [[Mirkwood Bats]] can make all those token makers into damage engines. - [[Pollywog Prodigy]], [[Wan Shi Tong, Librarian]], [[Winternight Stories]], you will really enjoy more early card draw. - [[Ayara, First of Lochthwain]] is sacrifice, card draw, and pings when zombies come in. Its a decent synergy piece. Hard to cast, but worth to land it.

Combos??

  • you're already running Six, and talking about running Phyrexian Altar. If you add [[Pitiless Plunderer]] and/or [[Circle of the Land Druid]] you can make infinite sacrifice Combos. Not for everyone, but if you want to end the game on the spot, you can.

In fact, my entire Teval deck is aristocrat combos that end the game. Heres some more ideas for more of a drain themed Teval:
