Zombie

Zombie is a mono-black Historic tribal aggro-midrange deck built around flooding the board with Zombies and grinding value from death and recursion.

Its core synergies come from cheap Zombie creatures like Champion of the Perished, Cryptbreaker, Shambling Ghast, Lazotep Reaver, and Stitcher’s Supplier, which help go wide, grow threats, and stock the graveyard. Lords such as Death Baron and Lord of the Accursed pump the team, while Headless Rider and Tainted Adversary generate extra Zombie bodies to keep pressure on. Thoughtseize and Fatal Push clear the way and disrupt opponents, and Agadeem’s Awakening helps rebuild after removal.

The deck usually wins by overwhelming the opponent with a large Zombie board, boosted by anthem effects, and can also close games with Gray Merchant of Asphodel draining for a big burst thanks to heavy black devotion.
