Deck overview

This deck is an Esper Zombie tribal and reanimator strategy led by Hashaton, Scarab's Fist. Hashaton converts discarded creature cards into 4/4 black Zombie token copies for {2}{U}, allowing the deck to cheat mana costs on high-impact threats like Grave Titan, Archfiend of Ifnir, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. The core game plan blends token generation, aristocrat life drain, and tribal lord buffs to overwhelm opponents on the ground while punishing them for wiping the board. Discard enablers such as Cryptbreaker, Zombie Infestation, and Rotting Regisaur fill the graveyard while triggering Hashaton. Once an army of Zombies is established, payoffs like Wayward Servant, Corpse Knight, Diregraf Captain, and Vengeful Dead steadily deplete opposing life totals. If the board is answered, powerful mass reanimation spells like Patriarch's Bidding and Rise of the Dark Realms easily rebuild the army to close out the game.
