Unleash Undead Might with Acererak the Archlich
Acererak the Archlich stands as a formidable presence in any black-centric deck, embodying the dark mastery of necromantic power. This legendary Zombie Wizard commands attention with a 5/5 body, but its true strength lies in the strategic depth it offers. Upon entering the battlefield, Acererak challenges you to venture deeper into the dungeon if you haven't completed the Tomb of Annihilation, effectively giving you a second chance while pushing your game plan forward through the adventure mechanic—an elegant nod to the classic dungeon crawl experience.
Its attack trigger generates an army of 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens equal to the number of opponents, unless they choose to sacrifice creatures. This ability not only pressures each adversary but also synergizes smoothly with sacrifice outlets and token enablers like Woe Strider or Carrion Feeder, creating a relentless board presence. Acererak’s design perfectly captures the eerie, calculated menace expected from a legendary archlich, making it a centerpiece for decks that thrive on attrition and board control in the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set.
