Diregraf Captain (SCD)

Creature — Zombie Soldier

Deathtouch Other Zombie creatures you control get +1/+1. Whenever another Zombie you control dies, target opponent loses 1 life.

Reliable lord and drain engine for Zombie decks. Diregraf Captain offers the rare combination of anthem effect and incremental damage, turning your Zombie army into a grinding threat that pressures opponents even through board stalls. The deathtouch is a nice defensive bonus, and the drain trigger rewards the sacrifice-heavy gameplan that many Zombie strategies naturally employ. Solid in Commander Zombie builds and a key piece in Legacy/Modern Zombie shells where it can turn token generation or self-mill into meaningful life loss.
