This guy rather reminds me of the Ravenloft
setting from the old Dungeons and Dragons
campaigns, or the Castlevania video games. As
such, it makes me a little sad to say that he
probably won't be seen much in competitive
constructed - Zombies are not really a supported
tribe in this year's Standard, and lack the
tricks to make it in competitive Extended.
Still, he is sure to be loads of fun to play
with. There's nothing better than seeing an
Archon of Justice that doesn't want to block a
humble Drudge Skeleton.
Happy Halloween!

guy and All Hallows' Eve gets a million points!)

Happy Halloween. What a great card to review on
this day. Skeletons and Zombies unite. There is
not better pain in the @#$ ability to grant all
creatures then deathtouch. My friend already has
a great multiplayer Zombie deck and this just
pushed it over the edge. Fantastic Name,
Fantastic Art, Fantastic Abilities. Wizards got
it right with this guy.

Death Baron
Constructed:
There has not been a Black beat down sense
Undead Warchief came along and made them cheaper
and bigger. With almost all of the Unearth
critters black and Zombies, someone could make a
Black beat down deck.
Casual:
Well it looks like another Lord or Master or
whatever added to the pool of tribal wars.
Limited:
With about 8 Zombies and 1 Skeleton, the Baron
is not that great. But giving them Deathtouch
makes them all killers. So when they decide to
chump block they will take down the big fatty
too.
Overall a okay new lord for Zombies and
Skeletons. Like Zombies needs another lord.
Constructed: 2
Casual: 3
Limited: 3
Happy Halloween.

Death Baron Creature - Zombie Wizard Skeleton creatures you
control and other Zombie creatures you control
get +1/+1 and have deathtouch.
2/2
Seems the undead get yet another lord. This one
isn't bad. The usual pump plus the interesting
deathtouch. Throw in some changlings for a fun
casual deck. In limited and constructed this is
just meh. In limited I guess if you can fnid
some relevant creatures to go wth it it could be
good but don't count on it. In constructed it no
where effcient enough.
