Deck overview

This mono-black deck is a synergistic Zombie Tribal and Aristocrats strategy commanded by Ghoulcaller Gisa. The deck uses early turns to establish ramp, recurring fodder like Gravecrawler and Reassembling Skeleton, and death-trigger value engines like Undead Augur and Grim Haruspex. Once Gisa enters the battlefield and untaps, she converts single creatures or high-power threats like Lashwrithe and Grave Titan into an exponential horde of 2/2 Zombie tokens. The deck translates this wide board state into a table kill using tribal lords (Death Baron, Undead Warchief) for combat damage, paired with potent drain engines (Blood Artist, Plague Belcher, Vengeful Dead, Ayara, First of Locthwain) and mass reanimation spells (Living Death, Zombie Apocalypse). While it lacks stack protection and artifact removal, its deep graveyard redundancy and tutor suite ensure resilience against board wipes.
