Teneb is a six-mana 6/6 flying Dragon. Whenever it deals combat damage to a player, you may pay {2}{B} to put a creature card from any graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. That means every hit can return your best creature or steal an opponent's. The deck fills graveyards with self-mill, plays creatures with strong enter-the-battlefield effects and adds recursion so removal costs you little. Ramp matters because you want Teneb attacking with mana up for the trigger.
In the recorded games, Yathan Roadwatcher was a standout, milling four and returning a cheap creature straight to the battlefield. Eternal Witness and Timeless Witness kept spells coming back, Hermit Druid filled the graveyard quickly and Nezumi Graverobber added more pressure on graveyards. Everflowing Chalice helped the early ramp. One slower build played group hug early, then tried to loop Eternal Witness with sacrifice outlets, which took a lot of mana and several turns. Opponents had to be careful about what they let hit graveyards, but the deck's builds varied a lot from game to game.
