Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a tightly constructed Dimir Zombie tribal deck helmed by Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, built around sacrifice, death triggers, and repeatable token generation. The primary game plan is to assemble infinite death-trigger combos - most commonly Gravecrawler + Ashnod's Altar + Pitiless Plunderer or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Putrid Goblin - and drain the table with Diregraf Captain or Plague Belcher. A dense tutor package (Buried Alive, Entomb, Final Parting, Sidisi, Undead Vizier) reliably finds the pieces, while strong recursion from Living Death, Rise of the Dark Realms, and The Scarab God provides robust recovery. The deck fires on multiple axes: combat, drain, and combo, making it a resilient and adaptable Zombie engine.
