Necroregent Ascends
The Risen Necroregent is a compact threat for midrange black decks from Aetherdrift, a 5 4 Zombie Cat Knight that pressures both the board and the clock. Risen Necroregent rewards interaction with opponents by advancing its engines each time an opponent loses life, then converting that momentum into board presence at the end of your turn. As a Near Mint uncommon in English, it slots well into token builds or sacrifice archetypes where a steady supply of 2 2 Zombies matters.
From a gameplay perspective, Risen Necroregent reads clearly in limited and constructed play. It acts as a body that demands answers while fueling incremental advantage; leave it unchecked and your end step inventory grows. The art and flavor reflect a commander who held discipline alive and now enforces it, which fits lists that want resilient threats and repeatable token generation. Consider it in decks that trade incremental life loss for tempo and board density.
