Raise the Dead with Death-Priest Power
Death-Priest of Myrkul commands the eerie forces of undeath with a subtle but relentless presence on the battlefield. As a Tiefling Cleric, this creature excels in bolstering your undead army—granting Skeletons, Vampires, and Zombies you control a steady +1/+1 boost. This makes it a reliable cornerstone for any black aggro or tribal deck focused on the undead theme, turning your horde into a truly threatening force. The synergy with token generators or sacrifice outlets is unmistakable, allowing you to benefit doubly from every fallen creature.
Beyond simply buffing your minions, Death-Priest of Myrkul offers continuous pressure through its triggered ability. At the end of your turn, if a creature died, you can invest mana to create a fresh 1/1 black Skeleton token. This steady token production ensures your board remains populated, perfect for overwhelming opponents or fueling additional sacrifices. Pairing this with cards that cause recurrent creature deaths or with cards like Diregraf Captain enhances the resilience and reach of your deck without demanding extravagant resources.
