Oracle Text

Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Champion of the Perished is a clean, efficient payoff for black Zombie decks in Magic: The Gathering, especially aggressive and tempo-oriented lists that want to flood the board and grow a threat at the same time. At just one mana, it can start snowballing immediately, turning every later Zombie into a permanent upgrade and forcing opponents to answer it early or fall behind. In Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, it fits the set’s graveyard-soaked undead identity perfectly: a lowly corpse that becomes a terrifying leader as more of the horde gathers. Deckbuilding-wise, it pairs especially well with cheap Zombie makers and recursive bodies, such as cards that return from the graveyard or create multiple Zombie tokens, since each new body adds a counter and compounds pressure. It also plays nicely with sacrifice strategies, where repeatedly reanimating or replacing Zombies can make Champion of the Perished an oversized win condition.
