Premodern archetypes that play Rotlung Reanimator
- Clerics: Makes every Cleric death, including its own, into a 2/2 black Zombie token. The tokens are Zombies and not Clerics, so they attack and block but cannot be fed to Archon or Supplicant.
- Zombies: Whenever it or another Cleric dies, you get a 2/2 Zombie token. Shepherd of Rot and Withered Wretch are Clerics too, so every trade, every Cabal Therapy flashback and every sweeper leaves bodies behind. This is what makes the deck grind instead of just racing.
