Death Metal

Mono-Black Zombie Knights and Equipment

Josu Vess, Lich Knight by Tyler Jacobson

This deck is so metal! Zombie knights equipped with heavy metal weapons lead the charge, with armies of zombie spawn in tow.

Pair Tormod with the recursion spells to pump out zombie tokens while triggering Ayara to ping your opponent. Beef up the ranks with Lord of the Accursed, Liliana’s Mastery, and Zombie Infestation. Equip your legends with Blackblade Reforged and other weapons to take down bigger threats. To finish, cast a kicked Josu Vess, Army of the Damned, or Empty the Pits to create a massive swarm of the hungry dead and feast upon your opponent’s flesh!
