Overview:
This Dimir Zombie tribal deck leverages graveyard recursion and token generation to overwhelm opponents. Key strengths include synergistic creature recursion, multiple Zombie lords, and life drain effects. However, reliance on the graveyard and slow combo assembly limit its ceiling.
Primer:
Core Strategy: The deck aims to fill its graveyard with Zombies using self-mill (Stitcher's Supplier, Crow of Dark Tidings) and reanimate them via Gisa and Geralf's ability. Win conditions include:
- Token Swarms: Army of the Damned and amass effects create overwhelming boards
- Life Drain: Gray Merchant of Asphodel loops and Diregraf Captain triggers
- Gravecrawler Combos: With Rooftop Storm, enables infinite casts when paired with sac outlets like Nantuko Husk and payoffs like Vengeful Dead
Mulligan Priorities:
- Keep hands with self-mill enablers (Stitcher's Supplier) or tutors (Buried Alive)
- Prioritize early ramp (Sol Ring, Dimir Signet) to reach key 5-6 mana turns
- Avoid hands without graveyard setup or commander enablers
Key::
- Sequence mill before casting Gisa and Geralf to maximize recursion targets
- Protect Rooftop Storm as the primary combo accelerator
- Use Overcharged Amalgam to counter critical hate cards
Weaknesses:
Critical:
- Foldsto graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void)
- No free protection spells for key pieces
Moderate:
- Slow combo assembly (requires 3+ pieces)
- Limited board wipe recovery
Minor:
- Average interaction density
Most Important Cards:
- Rooftop Storm
- Gray Merchant of Asphodel
- Buried Alive
- Gravecrawler
- Diregraf Captain
- Army of the Damned
- Stitcher's Supplier
- Patriarch's Bidding
- Vengeful Dead

Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 6/10
- Fastest goldfish win ~T7 via Rooftop Storm combo
- High-cost finishers (Necrotic Hex, Zombie Apocalypse) slow the clock
Resilience: 5/10
- Vulnerable to graveyard disruption
- Some recursion (Victimize, Zombie Apocalypse) but slow
Consistency: 6/10
- 3 tutors + 10+ mill enablers provide redundancy
- Key combos lack dedicated search tools
Interaction: 5/10
- 7 targeted removals + 3 counterspells (mostly sorcery-speed)
- Lacks free interaction for critical turns
Rating Justification:
The deck operates at Optimized Casual (5.0) levels with High-Power Casual (5.5) potential when combos align. It outpaces precons through synergistic recursion but lacks the speed ( Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
