Wight's Undead March
The Wight from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms carves out its niche as a resilient Zombie Soldier that thrives on attrition. Entering the battlefield tapped might slow your tempo briefly, but the real strength lies in its Life Drain ability. Every time Wight deals damage that ends a foe’s life this turn, you gain a free 2/2 black Zombie token, expanding your undead ranks while exiling the fallen enemy card to deny your opponent any second chances. This mechanic ensures your board presence persists even as you whittle down opposing creatures, making Wight a tactical choice in grindy, midrange black decks.
Pair Wight with sacrifice outlets or cards that amplify damage to maximize its token generation. Its synergy with cards that benefit from Zombie tokens, like Diregraf Captain or Death Baron, can shift the battlefield balance swiftly. The Showcase Foil edition adds a gleaming collector’s touch to this rare, underscoring its role as both a practical creature and a flavorful addition to any black or Zombie tribal deck.
