Resurrect the Endless with Wight
The Wight from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms embodies the relentless persistence of undead horror. Entering the battlefield tapped may slow its initial impact, but its Life Drain mechanic swiftly turns casualties into reinforcements. Every time Wight delivers a lethal blow, it conjures a tapped 2/2 black Zombie token, turning your fallen foes into fresh threats while exiling the defeated creature. This ability not only extends your board presence but also disrupts opponents’ graveyard strategies, making Wight a versatile piece in black aggro or midrange decks.
Its synergy shines when paired with cards that enhance damage output or benefit from recurring Zombie tokens. Combining Wight with sacrifice outlets or graveyard enablers like Diregraf Captain or Death Baron can amplify its undead legion. Though its 3/2 body is modest, the steady flow of tokens it generates ensures the battlefield remains swarming with menace, perfectly capturing the dark, persistent atmosphere of the Forgotten Realms' shadowy underbelly.
