Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie Aristocrats strategy commanded by Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver. The primary game plan builds a resilient board of Zombies, generating continuous card advantage and sacrifice fodder through Wilhelt's decayed token ability. The deck aims to assemble a winning combo on Turn 6 by casting Rooftop Storm alongside Gravecrawler and a sacrifice outlet like Carrion Feeder or Ashnod's Altar to generate infinite enters-the-battlefield and death triggers. Alternatively, mass reanimation spells like Patriarch's Bidding and Zombie Apocalypse return a dominant zombie army to the battlefield alongside lords like Death Baron and Noxious Ghoul to wipe opposing creatures and swing for lethal damage. Because the deck lacks haste enablers, it requires one turn cycle of protection before closing the game, relying on countermagic, combat taxes, and edict effects to survive and rebuild quickly through board wipes.
