Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black Zombie tribal and aristocrat engine commanded by Ghoulcaller Gisa. The strategy focuses on establishing early board presence with resilient, recurring Zombie creatures and ramp, deploying Gisa on Turn 4 or 5, and immediately sacrificing high-power creatures to create a massive swarm of 2/2 Zombie tokens. Tribal lords such as Death Baron, Undead Warchief, and Lord of the Accursed rapidly scale the power and combat evasion of the token army, while aristocrat drain outlets like Plague Belcher, Vengeful Dead, and Ayara, First of Locthwain turn every creature death into direct table-wide life loss. The deck leverages deep card draw engines such as Undead Augur, Cryptbreaker, and Graveborn Muse to sustain momentum through board wipes. High devotion payoffs like Gray Merchant of Asphodel and big mana from Cabal Coffers provide decisive closing bursts to eliminate surviving opponents in the late game.
