Undead Army Builder: Wight's Relentless March
The Wight from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms embodies a relentless force that thrives on battlefield attrition. Entering tapped, this Zombie Soldier may not strike immediately, but its true strength lies in its Life Drain ability. Each time it deals damage resulting in a creature's demise, a 2/2 black Zombie token steps forward, expanding your undead ranks and exiling that fallen creature. This mechanic not only fuels board presence but disrupts the opponent’s graveyard strategies, making Wight a tactical asset in any black midrange or zombie tribal deck.
Often paired with cards that consistently chip away at opposing creatures or bolster your zombie tokens, Wight synergizes well with other token generators and graveyard disruptors. Its modest 3/2 stats combine with a strategic effect that rewards patient play and battlefield control. Whether you're orchestrating a slow grind or aiming to overwhelm with an ever-growing horde, Wight delivers a persistent threat worthy of your deck’s backbone.
