- Zombies, eat brains, make more zombies, eat more brains! The undead are rising and re-rising with Wilhelt, our zombie resurrecting and card drawing machine. Sometimes you just want a commander that is tribal and has the words “token” and “draw a card” on it. Let’s see if our opponents can survive this zombie apocalypse.

🎉 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for that Video. It‘s Great to See Not only the cards which Should be in the Deck, but also hiervon use them!
I'm never disappointed with your dexk techs! Keep up the good work
Thanks, I'll keep them coming!
I wanted to see your take on this commander and congrats on the 2k!
@JGushi, thanks! Zombies is one of my favorite tribes!
Best damn video I've watched for wilhelt deck and I've watched like 20.... I'm new to mtg! The mock playthrough at the end puts you way above anyone else on UA-cam! Please do another mock play through with this deck it was more than helpful!
Thanks for the support. People don't usually watch the goldfishing part of that video. I recommend building the deck on one of those site that let you goldfish - I believe tappedout.
@@vex_mtg where do you recommend buying singles?
This is going to come rather late, but there is a neat little combo that would work well in there. I'm not talking about any of the sweet new crimson vow additions, but one that is hiding in plain sight. Only one person in the comments that i saw recommended adding a Zombie Master, but it doesn't look like he was recommending it for the reason I am. Zombie Master + Urborg should be a given. All lands are now swamps really means ALL lands, including opponents. Suddenly, all your zombies can just attack directly? Sounds like fun to me.
That is a super fun combo, thanks for the heads up!
Love the list, similar to mine with a few small changes. Always enjoy your deck techs!
@Ryan Fralich, hopefully changes for the better! Thanks for the support!
Peeeeeeerfect. Thanks so much - its exactly what ive been waiting for :D
@Nyakes, your welcome!
Good deck outline. I have some suggestions from playing my deck (which was a carbon copy of yours).
Replace endless horde enchantment with restic study. Endless horde is ether a win more or a sad card since it is add half rounded down, and once someone plays against this deck they will bounce or remove your zombies.
Zombie lords - keep undead warlord as the only 4 cmc lord add zombie master and the new ub +1+0 lord drop all the other 4+ cmc lords. 4 -5 cmc is to slow for zombie lords.
Hold feed the swarm for killing kindred discovery. That draw spell is the tits but it will deck you fast as hell.
The new captain of the perished can be dropped. Pick up the 2 cmc siege zombie (tap 3 zombies to deal 1 damage). It is great for all the zombie tokens you will make.
Field of the Dead and shrine of nix are great lands to add as well.
Phyrexian altar and the 2 other altars are needed in this list.
You only need to run 3 islands to cover the blue pips. Add high market and Phyrexian tower lands for Sac Fodder. You can remove the zombies that add key words to your zombie tokens and replace them with cover of darkness and eldrazi monument.
This should leave you with about 4 slots open. You can add more zombies like zombie trailblazer or other synergetic cards.
Phyrexian reclamation is just like lord of the Undead for recursion , but cost you 2 life.
@Razeel Nightfall, thanks for the detailed explanation of upgrades. I'll take some of those suggestions to enhance my deck!
Finally a list that I like, I will use it as a starting point to fix my list
@Gennaro 89, that's awesome to hear, hope you list turns out well!
Best target for blast zone is your own kindred discovery.
Kindred discovery is our best and deadliest card. It triggers of every zombie attack and etb, and if you are not prepared you will deck your self the first time you go off.
@Razeel Nightfall, thanks for the heads up, I've never live that dream, but it would be cool to go out drawing your deck.
Awesome video!!! I believe the lord of the undead got changed to be all “other” zombies. Thank you for the cool content!
Upgrading the pre-con with some of the key cards from this and swapping out the mill theme. Very cool deck!
Thanks @Rookie Pyro.
This is pretty much the same exact list I made on moxfield ! Love it
@David Ko, great minds think alike!
If adding a non zombie card doesn’t bother you species specialist is a great replacement for midnight reaper. It’s one more black man’s but it will draw off all zombies tokens included.
I did have Species Specialist on the list, I did cut it to have more Zombies, but it would be a great include.
Awesome deck the upgrades and the midnight hunt lands are really cool
bought the precon while i build my Olivia Crimson Bride deck so i can play with my friends. Definitely felt the precon was very mixed in how it should be played. half zombie tribal, half mill. needed an upgrade for sure (or at least insight on one)
Precons are still a great way to get into the game. But I agree, they usually do 2 themes because of the secondary commanders.
Cool build. I'm low-key kinda surprised it seems to be going under the radar but Wilhelt imo makes a much better aristocrats commander. With him out each zombie turns into two bodies for sacrificing. A bunch of zombies ping for damage when one dies, death pact to remove creatures, infinite loop with grave crawler, roof storms and a sac outlet for damage or mill with altar of dementia. Those amass zombies are amazing. An amass producer means you get two bodies to sacrifice off the creature itself and the zombie Army being turned into a decayed. Another spicy infinite loop is poppet factory, wilhelt and blasting station
Always love your deck thank
fully more than half the cards your running are in the precon so it's easier to get the deck toghether
Thanks. I wonder how so many precon cards are in the deck ;)
I didn't see anyone mention this, but lord of the undead was Errata'd to be zombie wizard, and reads "OTHER zombies you control get +1/+1"
You are correct, I just wished they would finally reprint it so I would stop messing up.
Black market and pitiles plunderer seem pretty good for mana gain, which is an issue i often have late game with this deck.
Lord of the Undead is either a Lord, that is not a zombie, and does not get its +1/+1 effect. Or it is a zombie, and says "other zombies" get +1/+1 on its newer 10th edition printing. So its always a 2/2
As always! Love the deck. Hope you do Kyler
@Richard Bennett, you are correct, I need to finally bite the bullet and get the 10th edition printing so I don't mess this up again. I do have a Kykar deck and it is on the list, I just need to squeeze it in on the schedule.
Lord of the Undead is a lord zombie that his other zombies +1+1
@@RazielNightfall correct, that is the oracle text
Very powerful zombie commander deck got me wanting to build one💯
I see lot of potential dead cards that could be replaced with interaction like a mere counter spell it would do wonders for this deck, more than anything this deck relays too much on its own board, protection is needed and it's curve is a bit high for an aggro/sacrifice type. I appreciate you demonstrate a sample hand but that also shows how weak to removal or opponents interaction could be.
@Sebastián Gómez Botero, I see your point. If you do get a board wipe and Wilhelt is on the board, you should be able to get those Decayed zombies. My meta doesn't have too much removal. So I would say definitely adjust to your playgroup.
Guessing someone already told you, but poppet factory goes infinity with wilhelt and a sac outlet
@Roel van de Plasse, you're the first one, I didn't know about that combo, thanks for the heads up. I think you can draw the game with that combo.
You can put scarab god and/or wilhelt in the deck also hehe
Indeed, I will certainly do that.
I enjoyed this so much - once again. I might build mine a little differently but this input was so worth it. Im just wondering. Did you leave field of the dead out on purpose?
@Nyakes, hope you build goes well. Yeah I did leave out Field of the Dead because I didn't want to split my basics between regular and snow-covered, I wanted all eternal night basics! But for theme reasons you could definitely add it in.
I play my Zombies with Damia. Green is a pretty good addition for every Zombie Edh.
I'm surprised Narfi didn't make he cut! Another Zombie lord to give +1/+1.
@txag007, Narfi is pretty expensive, plus I would rather include Risen Executioner over Narfi, which in retrospect, I should have added.
Wow, what a awesome deck tek. I loved watching yourun it through it's paces. I kind of new, I get the basics, but I'm just now trying to understand the more complex interactions. My question is this...how does Mikaeus, The Unhallowed work as far as "undying" is concerned? With all the +1/+1 counters popping off, it seems like he wouldn't be able to bring anyone back. Please be kind if I completely misread the card lol. Thanks again and Cheers friend.
Naisuuuu
Thanks @Simón Duque.
Niceuuuu
It kinda misses a Phyrexian Altar to go with that Gravecrawler. That makes Unlimited Tokens and death/ETB triggers
@carnophage666, you are correct, I didn't add that combo. Sometimes I have to hold back on too many combos, even though I'm tempted.
great video.....some update of the deck with Innistrad Crimson Vow?
I would find room to add Geralf, Visionary Stitcher.
Great video and loved the playtest at the end. However, because you have no opponent and only 1 counterspell it's likely that Wilhelt will be dealt with before your engine gets going. May I suggest additional sac outlets to compensate? There is really no reason not to play the alters and carrion feeder. Gisa, stronghold assassin and attrition are huge in this deck also. I don't think you need as many lords so you could cut some of these. Additionally, graf harvest is a must. Also, sac payoffs are great in this deck. Bar Wilhelt, Diregraf Captain, Plague Belcher and champion of the perished you are not taking advantage of saccing creatures. Why not go full aristocrat and add grave Pact, dictate of erebos and Diregraf's friends I.e. blood artist, zulaport cutthroat etc? And finally, undying zombies are great. For instance, if you have Carrion Feeder and Butcher Ghoul out you can sac him twice, the 2 tokens triggered from wilhelt twice, and then the 2 decayed tokens twice. 6 triggers for zero mana and 1 of them nets you draw from wilhelt. With any sac payoff that is massive value :)
I would love to see your Kroxa deck
@Micah Brown, I'll have to squeeze it in somewhere, possibly after Crimson Vow.
How does the combo with Acererak the Archlich actually work? He says that you can only run through Tomb of Annihilation, so to speak. How do you get into the other dungeon? Did i miss something?
He’ll venture into tomb of annihilation first, then it says to venture into “the” so you’ll choose one of the other two
@@tidus001 ok thanks . I think "the" means the Dungeon of Annihilation.
@Rico Garcia Perez, you can chose to venture into the other 2 dungeons and never into the Tomb of Annihilation, which allows you infinitely bounce Acererak and recast for free.
One little flavour-fail. There is no Field of the Dead?!
@Rico Garcia Perez, it is a flavor fail! I cut it because it just doesn't function in most games, but for flavor reasons you can add it back in.
Is tombstone stairwell good in this deck ?
Excellent in this deck. It is a Reserved List cards, therefore I don't include those cards.
Hey Im new to magic, can you sacrifice more then 1 zombie during the end phase to draw more then 1 card, like if I sacrifice 3 can I draw 3?
@cbimz you can only sacrifice one zombie and draw one card. Welcome to MTG and Commander!
Ahh that sucks but thanks
@@cbimz still good
Did i skip the ramp section? xD
@Nyakes, good catch, I accidentally deleted that section. Here's the cards I forgot: Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Wayfarer's Bauble, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance, and Phyrexian Arena!
@@vex_mtg sweet thanks :D
I'll say say it- Poppet Factory STINKS. I never flip it because it SHUTS DOWN YOUR OWN COMMANDER. Also, there's a half-dozen or more other ways to buff your zombies with Lords.
The idea of Poppet Factory is that it removes the "decayed" from your token zombies that Wilhelt creates. Also, how does Poppet Factory shut down Wilhelt?
Very generic deck to my taste. I rolled my eyes when I saw Skullclamp, but then I realised it is a good way to use those decayed tokens.
This is pretty bad. Lord of the Dead most certainly does not give himself +1/+1. You're running too many lords and not enough zombies.
