Deck overview

This is a Dimir Zombie tribal deck helmed by Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, built to generate an overwhelming board of zombie tokens while leveraging death triggers for card advantage and life drain. The primary game plan is to establish a critical mass of zombies, then either win through combat with lords granting evasion (flying, menace) or assemble a compact infinite combo: Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + a drain payoff like Diregraf Captain. The commander acts as a value engine, turning every zombie death into a decayed token and converting extra zombies into cards each turn. The deck has strong tribal synergy with lords, token doublers (Necroduality, Reflections of Littjara), and recursion, but lacks consistent tutors to find its combo pieces.
