Deck overview

This deck is a classic Dimir Zombie Tribal and Aristocrats strategy commanded by Gisa and Geralf. The game plan revolves around filling the graveyard through self-mill and sacrifice effects, establishing a resilient undead army, and leveraging tribal lords to overpower the table. Gisa and Geralf serves as a repeatable card-advantage engine from the command zone, allowing you to recast key Zombie utility pieces, lords, and edict creatures every turn. The deck transitions into the mid-to-late game by deploying explosive finishers such as Zombie Apocalypse, Rooftop Storm, Army of the Damned, or Necroduality. Once a critical mass of Zombies is assembled, you close out the game through evasive combat damage granted by lords like Eternal Skylord and Lord of the Accursed, supplemented by unavoidable life drain from Diregraf Captain, Vengeful Dead, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel.
