Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"2/2 zombie tokens are the perfect sacrifice target for Anhel's casualty ability so we're looking to run as many instants/sorceries that generate tokens like [[From Under the Floorboards]] and [[Rise of the Dread Marn]]. With a single zombie token out we can make [[Army of the Damned]] read as create 15 2/2 zombie tokens.\nOnce our board gets wide enough with zombie tokens we've also got 8 anthem effects to make them a serious threat including [[Eternal Skylord]] to let them fly over our opponent's blockers or [[Gleaming Overseer]] to protect our zombies from our opponent's abilities and spells.\nAnhelo's spell doubling also gives us a bunch of upsides on cards with additional casting costs like [[Treasure Cruise]] or [[Empty the Pits]] which only have to delve once to trigger twice or loot effects like [[Big Score]] which only require us to discard once to get the draw effect twice.\n\nUpgrading this deck focuses on introducing higher cost zombie lords and synergies like [[Death Baron]] and [[Ghoulcaller Gisa]] as well as adding more cards that benefit from our spell doubling like [[Archmage Emeritus]] and [[Twinning Staff]].\n"}]}
