Premodern archetypes that play Shepherd of Rot
- Zombies: The burn spell. Tapping it makes each player lose one life per Zombie on the battlefield, yours and theirs. With a full board it is four to six damage a turn through any blocker, and in a race you are usually ahead. Against Sligh and Burn count both sides carefully: it hurts you just as much.
