Skeletons you control and other Zombies you control get +1/+1 and have deathtouch. (Any amount of damage they deal to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
For the necromancer barons, killing and recruitment are one and the same.

Where it came from
Death Baron was originally printed in the Shards of Alara expansion in 2008, designed to support tribal synergies for Zombie decks. As a lord-effect creature, it provides a crucial power and toughness boost alongside deathtouch, making it a cornerstone for undead-themed strategies in Magic: The Gathering. The card quickly became a staple in eternal formats where graveyard recursion and tribal mechanics thrive.
This specific iteration from the Core Set 2019 Promos was released as part of a recurring promotional series intended to provide stylized versions of iconic cards to the player base. Featuring updated artwork by Nils Hamm, the illustration leans into the gothic and decaying aesthetic of necromancy, emphasizing the character's mastery over the undead. The design was received favorably by collectors and players alike for its thematic cohesion and its availability as a foil variant through game store tournament support.
