The creative team hates when we do this because creatively there's no difference between a card that's a Zombie and a creature token that's a Zombie

Black Diresight Listen, Im on the side of spells like Read the Bones, and this new card Diresight being better than Phyrexian Arena (yes, I know its a hot take)

There's also Pitiless Plunderer and Morbid Opportunist here which I thought would hint at a Sacrifice subtheme here but nope, there's 1 sac outlet in the entire deck (Shadow, Mysterious Assassin) and like two or three cards that sacrifice themselves (Priest of Fell Rites) so maybe these are either random "hope for value" inclusions or maybe the remnants of a previous version of the deck that focused more on Sacrifice, who knows

Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant The perfect curve here is to play Sarkhan, Dragon Ascendant beholding a dragon, getting a Treasure, and in the next turn you cast a 4-mana dragon, while attacking with a 3/3 flying Sarkhan

Sauron, the Necromancer Sauron, the Necromancer can not only cheat out good effects from big creatures in your graveyard, but youll get to keep the copy if its your Ring-bearer
