Pollute the Board
Gempalm Polluter from Commander Aetherdrift is a compact, utility Zombie that gives you a late game option beyond simply attacking. At five and a black it sits as a 4/3 body that answers both card draw needs and life-swing opportunities. The card's printed Cycling cost and its triggered cycling effect reward decks built around Zombie density; you can convert an otherwise dead draw into direct drain proportional to how many Zombies occupy the battlefield.
Use Gempalm Polluter as a filler in token builds or as a one card trick in control shells that plan to tutor or reanimate. The card reads cleanly and plays predictably. In multiplayer Commander it scales well because each extra Zombie your table supports increases the bite of the cycling trigger. If you prefer redundancy and incremental advantage, this near mint English copy is ready to slot into a Commander or tribal list.
