Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie Tribal and Aristocrats strategy led by Gisa and Geralf. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard through self-mill, casting resilient Zombie threats, and leveraging tribal synergies to dominate the battlefield. Early turns are dedicated to playing ramp artifacts and utility Zombies like Cryptbreaker or Mire Triton. Once Gisa and Geralf enters on Turn 4, the graveyard functions as an extended hand, granting consistent card flow by recasting dead or milled creatures once per turn. In the mid-to-late game, the deck scales aggressively using lords such as Undead Warchief and Lord of the Accursed, evasive enablers like Wonder and Cover of Darkness, and high-impact finishers like The Scarab God and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. Death triggers from Diregraf Captain and Vengeful Dead punish sweepers and drain opponents out. While resilient against single-target destruction, the deck is vulnerable to exile-based board wipes and dedicated graveyard hate.
