Summon the Undead Overlord
Acererak the Archlich stands as a formidable presence in any black deck, bringing both thematic weight and potent battlefield control. This legendary Zombie Wizard demands respect from the moment it enters the fray, but only if you have the resolve to face the Tomb of Annihilation. Should you falter in this perilous dungeon, Acererak’s own fate is to retreat back to your hand, forcing you to delve deeper before commanding his dread power again.
On the offensive, Acererak’s ability to spawn a 2/2 black Zombie token for each opponent whenever it attacks turns it into a relentless army builder. Opponents must make tough choices, sacrificing creatures or facing an ever-growing horde. Acererak synergizes well with cards that benefit from creature tokens or sacrifice mechanics, such as Diregraf Captain or Grave Titan, amplifying your board presence while punishing enemy defenses. His 5/5 stats ensure he is no mere token summoner but a resilient threat in his own right.
