Deck Name: Necrotic Dominion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Format: Legacy / Casual Multiplayer
Deck Type: Tribal Zombie – Sacrifice & Recursion
Colors: Mono-Black (B)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description

"Necrotic Dominion" is a relentless Mono-Black Zombie Tribal deck that thrives on sacrifice, recursion, and overwhelming board control. By utilizing Gravecrawler, Carrion Feeder, and Grave Pact, the deck forces opponents into an endless cycle of losing creatures while continuously reviving its undead horde.

With Necroduality doubling every non-token Zombie you cast, and Headless Rider ensuring that even in death, your Zombies multiply, the deck maintains a constant presence on the battlefield. Buffs from Lord of the Undead, Undead Warchief, and Death Baron turn your creatures into deadly threats that opponents struggle to remove permanently.

This deck shines in both multiplayer and 1v1 formats, excelling against creature-based decks and strategies that rely on board presence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Play

Early Game:
Use Dark Ritual for an explosive start, quickly deploying key cards like Gravecrawler and Carrion Feeder.
Establish card advantage with Cryptbreaker, ensuring you don’t run out of options.
Set up recursion loops with Unholy Grotto and Lord of the Undead.

Mid-Game:
Apply pressure with Necroduality, doubling every non-token Zombie cast.
Lock down the board using Grave Pact—every sacrificed Zombie forces your opponents to sacrifice as well.
Use Death Baron and Undead Warchief to make your Zombies more aggressive and resilient.

Late Game:
Swarm your opponent with an endless wave of resurrected Zombies.
Abuse Headless Rider to ensure that even board wipes work in your favor.
Close out the game by overpowering your opponent with sheer numbers and buffs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How the Zombie Synergy Works

Endless Recursion:
Gravecrawler and Carrion Feeder form an infinite loop when combined with any Zombie lord.
Unholy Grotto and Lord of the Undead let you reuse key Zombies.

Sacrifice for Control:
Grave Pact forces opponents to sacrifice creatures every time you sacrifice one.
Carrion Feeder provides a repeatable sacrifice outlet that buffs itself.

Board-Wide Buffs:
Undead Warchief and Death Baron turn even small Zombies into deadly threats.
Necroduality doubles every non-token Zombie, exponentially increasing your power.
This strategy makes the deck extremely resilient and difficult to disrupt, as your creatures are never truly gone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sideboard Strategy

Against Aggro Decks:
Go for the Throat – Efficient removal for large threats.
Feed the Swarm – Destroys problematic enchantments and creatures.

Against Control Decks:
Thoughtseize – Disrupts key control pieces before they can be used.
Duress – Removes counterspells and board wipes.

Against Graveyard Hate:
Leyline of the Void – Helps against opposing graveyard decks.
Relic of Progenitus – Clears graveyards without affecting your recursion.

Against Artifact/Enchantment Strategies:
Feed the Swarm – Handles enchantments, one of Mono-Black’s biggest weaknesses.
Tormod's Crypt – Disrupts decks that rely on graveyard synergies more than you do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skill Level and Playability

Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Playstyle: Aggressive tribal with strong board control elements
Best For: Multiplayer and 1v1 Legacy/Casual formats
