Deck overview

This deck is a classic Dimir Zombie Aristocrats build commanded by Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver. The primary strategy focuses on assembling a dense engine of synergistic Zombie creatures that generate resource advantage through sacrifice and death triggers. Wilhelt replaces dying nontoken Zombies with decayed tokens, fueling repeatable card draw and aristocrat drain effects like Blood Artist, Vengeful Dead, and Mirkwood Bats. The deck can win through an evasive, lord-boosted Zombie army reinforced by Eldrazi Monument and massive devotion bursts from Gray Merchant of Asphodel, or pivot into compact infinite sacrifice combos involving Poppet Stitcher // Poppet Factory or Gravecrawler alongside Rooftop Storm and a sacrifice outlet. A robust package of low-cost counterspells and removal provides defense and disruption while the engine develops.
