Creature (2)

Enchantment (2)


A deck that uses the power of the Undead Alchemist and his zombies to mill out the opponent. I tried to make this the best possible way to use the Undead Alchemist and I think it works really well.

Below here I'll write what every card does for this deck. If you have you have any suggestions please let me know!

  • Undead Alchemist: This is the star of the deck. You want to use your zombies to mill out the opponent. With only 2 toughness he's very vulnerable so be sure to protect him well.

  • [[Gravecrawler]: Gravecrawlers are used to get some early board control. This is one of the best zombies you can get.He's amazing once you have Death Baron out he's a kill card that keeps coming back.

  • Death Baron: This card is used to provide some strong offense and defence. No one wants to block your deathtouch gravecrawler only for it to return. Also works really well with the token generation off the Undead Alchemist.

  • Lich Lord of Unx: Unx is another way to win or mill out the opponent. He's a great token generator and allows for more milling. And even possibly dealing enough damage to kill your opponent.

  • Zombie Master: The Undead Alchemist only works when you actually do player damage so here's the outcome. Not only does he grant swampwalk to all your zombies he also grants regeneration, good to protect your high priority cards (Undead Alchemist and Death Baron). You want Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

  • Jace, Memory Adept: This planeswalker works so well in this deck. Play him with your Undead Alchemist out and you get atleast 3-4 zombie tokens with his 0 ability. He can also help you with card draw while milling out the opponent! His -7 is hardly ever used though.

  • Lightning Greaves: One of the best ways to protect your high priority targets(Undead Alchemist, Death Baron and/or Zombie Master. It will make sure those Doom Blades and Murders will fail to hit their target. Also grants haste which can be situationally benificial.

  • Breaking / Entering: I added this card to get some easy zombie tokens once you have the Undead Alchemist out. Since your main goal is to mill with zombies I decided to keep the mill cards at a low amount. Just a couple to get some easy tokens.

  • Turn Aside: I wanted some extra way to counter spells that target my creatures. I found that most counters were too expensive and too slow for this deck. The reason being is as soon as you lay down your Undead Alchemist it gets destroyed. So 2-3 mana was too much. This felt like the best counter for this job.

  • Visions of Beyond: This card speaks for it self. The best card draw card for any mill deck. You will be casting this for 1 mana most of the time.

  • Go for the Throat: A very powerfull kill card that you can use to kill some powerfull minions.

After some tests I felt that the deck was too slow and would get destroyed by most decks. Therefore I decided to make it more tribal instead of control.
