Dread Summons
Oracle Text
Each player mills X cards. For each creature card put into a graveyard this way, you create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)

Mana CostSet
Character Background
Dread Summons is a quintessential grindy black payoff for control and midrange decks that want to turn resource denial into a board presence. At its best, it pairs disruption with inevitability: each player mills X cards, but you’re the one converting those graveyard dumps into tapped 2/2 Zombies, so a large X can suddenly swing a stalled game in your favor. Because the tokens enter tapped, it leans more toward value and attrition than surprise aggression, though it can still set up a lethal crackback next turn. Deckbuilding-wise, it shines alongside self-mill, discard, and creature-heavy metas; cards that repeatedly fill graveyards, like ways to surveil or force milling, increase its token yield. It also plays nicely with aristocrat-style payoffs or sacrifice outlets, since the Zombies are disposable bodies. In lore terms, it feels like necromancy as accounting: every lost creature becomes another corpse soldier under your command.
