Oracle Text
Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)
When this creature dies, you may pay {B}. If you do, return it to its owner's hand.
When this creature dies, you may pay {X}. If you do, return another target Zombie creature card with mana value X from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Relentless Dead is a quintessential value engine for black-based Zombie decks, rewarding you for turning every trade or removal spell into another resource. A 2/2 menace body for {B}{B} already pressures life totals in aggressive or tempo shells, forcing awkward blocks and slipping damage through early. Its real strength, though, is recursion: when it dies, you can pay {B} to return it to your hand, or invest {X} to reanimate another Zombie with matching mana value, making it excellent in grindy midrange or tribal control builds. The best deckbuilding tip is to pair it with Zombies at tightly clustered mana values—especially one- and two-drops like Diregraf Ghoul or Lord of the Undead-style support—so the reanimation mode stays live more often. It also pairs well with sacrifice outlets and death triggers, letting you cash it in repeatedly while maintaining board presence. The card feels like an unstoppable horde given form: hard to pin down, harder to keep buried.
