Call of the Forgotten Lich
Zul Ashur, Lich Lord arrives as a compact engine for graveyard decks, offering repeatable value for a single black and one generic mana. The card reads as a Legendary Creature with Ward that taxes removal by requiring two life to target it, and a tap ability that lets you cast a Zombie creature card from your graveyard this turn. At 2 over 2 this zombie warlock is both a threat and a recurring toolbox, fitting cleanly into midrange and synergies that value recursion and creature count.
Play patterns are straightforward. Use Zul Ashur to recover a key blocker or a combo piece and keep pressure on the opponent while slowly recouping board presence. The card’s flavor hints at a commander or companion role in undead themes where each return fuels future plays. Add this near mint borderless Foundations print to a collection to shore up black graveyard strategies or to round out a Zombie tribal build. Pick one up and start refilling your battlefield from the crypt.
