Undead Unleashed budget replacements

Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver · 100 cards including the commander · 40 lands · colors B, U

Zombie sacrifice, decayed tokens, and end-step draw. Compare expensive slots with lower-cost options that preserve the important function. A slower or conditional replacement can be a poor bargain even when its price is lower.

What to preserve

Wilhelt's death trigger and end-step sacrifice both depend on Zombies. Protect sacrifice fodder and repeatable engines before replacing expensive creatures.

A useful first review

Find an expensive supported slot, compare the rules text and restrictions, then export the whole cheaper deck. No safe saving is an honest result.

1. Load the list and check the commander and 100-card count.
2. Set your purchase budget and intended table. Add owned options and protect the engines you intend to keep.
3. Review the actual card text before accepting a change. Save the baseline and edited list as separate project versions.
4. Export the full deck, play it, and attach an observation and next-review date to the tested version.

What to record after playing

Record whether you had a Zombie to sacrifice each end step and whether recursion restored the board after a wipe.
