Archghoul of Thraben

Archghoul of Thraben is a strong engine for Zombie tribal and sacrifice decks. Its main strength is turning every Zombie death into card selection and potential card draw, which helps grind through removal and keep pressure on. Best uses are in recursive Zombie decks, aristocrats shells, and any build that can repeatedly sacrifice Zombies. It gets much better with cheap token makers, death triggers, and graveyard recursion, since each dying Zombie can dig for more Zombies or set up the graveyard. Key synergies include Zombie token generators, sacrifice outlets, and cards that bring creatures back from the graveyard. It also supports self-mill and graveyard-based play by letting you bin non-Zombies if you miss. Practical tip: prioritize a high Zombie count to maximize hits; in mixed creature decks, this becomes much less reliable.
