Deck & Commander Strategies
Caesar, Legion's Emperor
This deck focuses on creating multiple 1/1 red soldier tokens by sacrificing creatures during attacks, enabling aggressive board presence and potential burst damage to opponents. The tokens also help in chipping away at the horde and maintaining pressure.
Quintorius, History Chaser
Quintorius' deck centers around card draw and controlling the battlefield through spells and interactions that capitalize on historical triggers, helping to stabilize the board while developing resources to outlast the horde.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Players must carefully choose which horde creatures to block each wave since unblocked attackers deal damage to the shared life total, requiring prioritization of threats.
- 2
Sacrificing creatures to generate soldier tokens with Caesar provides both defensive blockers and offensive damage output, crucial for managing the increasing horde pressure.
- 3
The horde deck includes spells with variable costs tied to the current wave number, which escalates the difficulty each round and forces players to adapt their strategies dynamically.
- 4
Counterspells are limited to one per wave against horde creatures, making timing and target selection for counters critical to survival.
- 5
The shared life total mechanic encourages cooperative resource management and strategic planning to endure the zombie invasion over multiple rounds.

Gameplay Summary
The game presents a unique challenge where players must survive against escalating waves of a zombie horde deck, which generates increasing threats each round.
The horde creatures enter tapped and attacking, forcing players to carefully manage blocking and damage to their shared life total of 40.
The goal is to survive through 20 waves, each wave increasing in intensity with new zombie tokens and occasional boss creatures.
Players can attack the horde creatures or the horde deck directly and have limited counterspell options against incoming threats.
Strategic sacrifices and token generation play a key role, particularly with Caesar, Legion's Emperor, who can create soldier tokens and leverage them for damage or card advantage.
Meanwhile, Quintorius, History Chaser, brings a different angle, focusing on card draw and interaction based on his abilities.
The game unfolds with players balancing defense against the relentless horde while developing their board states, with key moments involving token creation, life management, and controlling the growing swarm.
The win condition is explicitly surviving all 20 rounds of waves without their shared life total dropping to zero.
