Deck overview

This deck uses Ghoulcaller Gisa to convert large creatures into Zombie armies, then amplifies them with tribal lords and converts deaths into life loss through Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Plague Belcher, or Vengeful Dead. The strongest ordinary setup is Ghoulcaller Gisa followed by Grave Titan: Titan makes two Zombies, then Gisa sacrifices it for six more. This creates a strong board around turn 7, but it is not a compact win. The deck must still find anthem effects, survive removal, and attack or assemble enough sacrifice value to defeat three players. Its recursion and card-draw engines provide useful grind, while Noxious Ghoul and Priest of Forgotten Gods can punish creature-heavy tables. Its main limits are slow assembly, weak tutoring, no stack interaction, and minimal protection. It is a focused general-power deck rather than a cEDH construction.
