Deck overview

This deck is a synergistic Dimir Zombie Aristocrats build piloted by Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver. It focuses on generating persistent token fodder, accruing steady card advantage through death triggers, and assembling a lethal combo. In the early turns, the deck develops its board with low-cost Zombies and mana rocks before casting Wilhelt on Turn 4 to convert dying creatures into 2/2 decayed tokens and end-step card draws. Its primary win condition resolves around Turn 6, utilizing Gravecrawler alongside a free sacrifice outlet like Phyrexian Altar and a drain piece like Diregraf Captain or Bastion of Remembrance to deal infinite damage across the table in a single turn. Backup lines leverage Poppet Stitcher or Rooftop Storm to close games. Supported by a lean counterspell suite, strong creature attrition from Grave Pact, and extensive mass reanimation, the list possesses resilient mid-game recursion and decisive closing speed.
