Character Background

Scavenging Ghoul is a quietly resilient Zombie that rewards any game plan built around attrition, especially black control or sacrifice-heavy value decks. At first glance, a 2/2 for four mana is modest, but its corpse counters turn every death on the board into future staying power, and regeneration makes those counters feel like a stockpile of insurance. In practice, it shines in decks that reliably trade creatures early and often, such as Aristocrats shells with disposable tokens, sacrifice outlets, and removal that clears the way for a steady stream of deaths. It also pairs well with effects that force combat or mass removal, since each fallen creature feeds its end-step growth. The lore feel is classic undead scavenging: a grim scavenger that literally feeds on the battlefield’s aftermath. If you can keep the board messy, Scavenging Ghoul becomes a durable threat that can slowly outlast fair combat decks while demanding extra removal.
