Plague Belcher — Silent Menace
Plague Belcher is a compact clockwork of attrition for any black graveyard or Zombie themed Commander deck. The card name sits on a sturdy 5 4 body that arrives with menace, forcing blockers to commit two creatures or take hits. Its enter the battlefield trigger forces you to accept two negative counters on a creature you control which creates meaningful deck building decisions and invites synergy with persist sacrifice and reanimation lines.
The secondary ability is where the card earns its seat at the table. Whenever another Zombie you control dies each opponent loses one life which compounds across board wipes and token churn. Play Plague Belcher in a list that generates sacrificial fodder or that returns creatures from exile so the life loss stacks into a reliable clock. If you want incremental advantage and a resilient finisher, this rare from Commander Aetherdrift finds solid use in midrange and aristocrat shells. Add it to your deck and let incremental erosion decide the game.
