Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"2024-05-15 (except for some version change on 2025-02-08...OK zombie search on 2-12-2025 & Spymaster's Vault on 04-10-2025)\n\n\nThe goal is to recast Ebondeath from the yard, as many times as possible. He plays like a lich, dying to return more powerful than before.\n\n\n-Zombie payoffs exist despite the low zombie count, because of how often Ebondeath dies/enters.\n-Mana is generated via a mixture of death payoffs (Pitiless Plunderer), sacrifiice outlets (Ashnod's/Phyrexian Altar), and black miscellany (K'rrik, Carnival of Souls, Skirge Familiar) in conjunction with cost reducers to repeatedly cast & sac Ebondeath for value/the win.\n-Opponents can be killed via Tendrils of Agony, a swarm of dudes, an aristocrat (or 2+, if Carnival of Souls is onboard), Soul Enervation, or via Altar of Dementia milling them out.\n\n\nEbondeath can get sacrificed with Lethal Vapors's trigger on the stack, minimizing its impact on the pilot.\nHe also snipes Planeswalkers pretty well, before dying again.\n"}]}
