Deck overview

This Dimir Zombie tribal deck centers on Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver to generate steady card advantage and creature tokens. By turning dying nontoken Zombies into decayed Zombie tokens, the deck maintains a steady supply of fodder for sacrifice outlets and death triggers. Early turns establish mana rocks and inexpensive Zombies, leading into Wilhelt on Turn 4 to start the draw engine. From there, the deck stacks tribal lords and aristocrat drain pieces like Diregraf Captain, Plague Belcher, and Syr Konrad, the Grim. Mass graveyard recursion from spells like Zombie Apocalypse and Lich-Knights' Conquest allows the deck to rebuild quickly after sweepers or trigger massive life swings via Gray Merchant of Asphodel. While vulnerable to mass exile effects, the deck grinds down opposing life totals through steady combat pressure and unavoidable death triggers.
