Deck overview

This deck is a classic Dimir Zombie tribal strategy commanded by Grimgrin, Corpse-Born. The primary plan builds an early board of resilient, recursive Zombie creatures and death-trigger draw engines such as Cryptbreaker, Undead Augur, and Headless Rider. Once Grimgrin hits the board, it acts as a free sacrifice outlet, growing large while removing opposing blockers upon attacking. The deck can pivot between aggressive wide-board beatdown boosted by lords like Death Baron and Lord of the Accursed, drain attrition via Diregraf Captain and Gray Merchant of Asphodel, and late-game explosive plays involving Rooftop Storm or mass reanimation like Zombie Apocalypse. While powerful in casual battlecruiser pods, its game plan relies heavily on combat damage and unhasty permanents, leaving it vulnerable to repeated sweepers and well-timed graveyard hate.
