Twelve bodies in play looks fantastic with creaturefall cards or wincons like Moonshaker Cavalry
The inspiration for this monster deck come from a variety of sources, including the Elder Scrolls series, the Diablo series, the original Warcraft Games, Dungeons & Dragons, and official Magic cards
The theme is pretty much the same, but WotC paid special attention to the enablers and payoffs, and gave red and white the tools to fight back, including flashback
Against another blue deck, it often costs just 1 mana to counter a key spell, so its perfect in Izzet Murktide or control lists that try to tempo out their opponent
The first ability does not assist the control plan much, but it does allow for use of additional tokens and removal effects down the road
