Unlike preconstructed theme decks and intro packs, which are constructed by Wizards of the Coast for newer players to Magic, event decks are built with more tournament play competitive players in mind, and each event deck features seven to ten rares and as many as four copies of powerful common and uncommon cards.
Event decks are Standard legal as of their release and may be played fresh from their box, which contains a strategy insert with tips as to deck customization.
Death's Encroach is a black event deck that focuses on Zombies.
When the dead walk the land, people are understandably nervous. The aggressive army of Zombies and other fiends in the "Death's Encroach" deck will incite panic starting on the first turn of the game. Diregraf Ghoul and Gravecrawler are your shock troops. Highborn Ghoul's intimidate ability makes it the perfect corpse for pressing the attack. And Lashwrithe can quickly turn any of your undead into the scariest creature around, with each Swamp you play making the equipped creature even deadlier.
