Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie Aristocrats and Reanimation strategy led by Satoru, the Infiltrator. Satoru turns non-cast and mana-free creature entries into consistent card draw, converting mechanics like unearth, undying, and instant-speed revival spells into steady card advantage. Early turns focus on filling the graveyard and establishing low-cost Zombies. During the midgame, the deck leverages mass reanimation spells like Zombie Apocalypse and Bloodline Bidding or cost-reduction enablers such as Rooftop Storm to flood the battlefield. The primary win condition revolves around recurring life-drain triggers from Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Diregraf Captain while attacking with an amplified Zombie army. The deck features strong creature protection against destruction effects using cheap revival spells, but it remains susceptible to targeted graveyard exile and lacks countermagic to protect against stack-based interaction.
