Welcome the Dead — Raise the Druid Horde
Welcome the Dead is a compact engine piece for graveyard focused black decks in Commander. The card gives immediate card advantage with a draw two then discard one sequence while costing you two life. That graveyard interaction fuels a second effect that creates X tapped 2/2 black Zombie Druid creature tokens where X equals the number of cards put into your graveyard from your hand or library this turn, turning self mill, draw, and tutor plays into a token board state.
Play it as a value sorcery that both refills your hand and grows your board, or cast it from the graveyard with flashback five black to repeat the effect and push incremental advantage. The tokens enter tapped so plan around attackers and sacrifice synergies. This printing in Commander Tarkir: Dragonstorm is Near Mint and ready for competitive builds that exploit graveyard depth, token generators, and sacrifice outlets.
