Deck overview

This deck uses Hashaton, Scarab's Fist to turn discarded creatures into tapped 4/4 Zombies. Cheap outlets such as Putrid Imp and Selhoff Entomber provide the discard, while Bone Miser, Undead Augur, Caretaker's Talent, and Phyrexian Arena improve the resource exchange. The second plan is a conventional Zombie tribal board backed by Diregraf Captain, Death Baron, Lord of the Accursed, Undead Warchief, and Liliana's Mastery. Grave Pact with Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar supplies meaningful creature attrition. The deck is strongest after it has several Zombies and can turn expendable bodies into cards, mana, or forced sacrifices. Its main limits are the high activation cost of Hashaton, Scarab's Fist, limited protection, slow tutoring, and reliance on combat to finish. It can usually create a must-answer board around turn 8, but a full-table kill commonly requires several attacks rather than a compact combo.
