Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver

Wilhelt is your zombie token factory and card draw engine rolled into one. The core gameplan is simple: play zombies, sacrifice them (especially your decayed tokens), and generate fresh 2/2 tokens while drawing cards. Each zombie death triggers Wilhelt, pumping out another token with built-in evasion via decayed. You're essentially converting your army into card advantage every turn. The deck wins by going wide with zombie tokens—they attack as decayed creatures, die at end of combat, and trigger Wilhelt again, snowballing into a massive board state.

This is a sacrifice-focused deck that synergizes heavily with effects that sacrifice creatures or create expendable tokens. You want token doublers, lords that pump your zombie army, and effects that reward you for sacrificing. Cards like Undead Augur and Plague Belcher turn your sacrifices into damage or targeted pain, while Rooftop Storm lets you vomit out zombies for free. The beauty is that you're never short on gas—your deck naturally generates tokens, and Wilhelt refills your hand whenever you sacrifice creatures.
