Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Ratadrabik gets tempted in this this unique deck build inspired by an idea from Youtuber EDH Deckbuilding.\nThe Ring's first ability is the important one. When you pick your ring-bearer, ideally a non-legendary one, it becomes legendary. After that happens, sacrifice it with one of the multiple sack outlets in your deck, either when its combat damage is assigned or just whenever you feel is beneficial. Thanks to Ratadrabik, that dying creature creates a 2/2 zombie copy of itself, giving it another chance at life. Rinse, repeat. Any of your creatures can return as zombies on the battlefield if they die.\nYour zombie tokens can also come back if you make them your ring bearer, giving them a third chance at life.\nThese sack outlets also yield benefits, of course. Many deal damage to opponents, add mana, destroy permanents, etc. \nThere are limited decent ways to buff your zombie tokens in Orzhov colors, but deathtouch is an effective one in black.\n\nAlternate win condition: Frodo. As a card on the battlefield and as a zombie token.\n"}]}
