Undead Dominion Strategy

Undead is built around Rebirth, the single most concentrated keyword in the game — 10 of its 26 units return to your hand at 1 HP the first time they'd die. Curse chips away at the opponent turn after turn, and Raise Dead, the game's only Reanimate spell, can pull a random unit straight back out of the graveyard.

How the Deck Plays

Attack and block aggressively with Rebirth units — a trade that would be a loss for any other deck often costs Undead nothing at all.

Key Mechanics

Undead Dominion is built around 3 core keywords:

Rebirth means a unit doesn't die the first time it would — it returns to your hand at 1 HP instead, so trading it away isn't really a loss.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Rebirth makes most trades effectively free
  • Curse provides steady, hard-to-answer damage over time
  • Raise Dead can recover a strong unit that already died

Weaknesses

  • Rebirth units return at only 1 HP, so they die again easily on a second hit
  • Raise Dead is random — you can't guarantee which unit comes back
  • Can be slow to close a game outright

Recommended Strategy

Trade fearlessly with Rebirth units since 'losing' them just returns them to your hand, then grind the opponent down with Curse and recursive value.

Win condition: Outlast the opponent through recursive value and repeated Curse damage until Dracolich or another late threat closes the game.
