What it does
Whenever another Zombie you control dies, if it didn't have decayed, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with decayed. (It can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)
At the beginning of your end step, you may sacrifice a Zombie. If you do, draw a card.
He would have sacrificed all his candy for just one king size.

Where it came from
Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, originally released as a legendary creature in the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Commander set, saw a thematic redesign in this Secret Lair drop. The card centers on the character of Wilhelt, the charismatic leader of the undead in Innistrad, who is famously tragic for his inability to accept the death of his beloved Geralf. This specific version utilizes a stylized aesthetic common to the Secret Lair series, which often collaborates with independent artists to reimagine established Magic: The Gathering staples through unique, non-traditional visual lenses.
The design of this iteration focuses on emphasizing the grim, gothic horror roots of the Innistrad plane while distancing the artwork from the standard TCG illustration style. By providing a fresh interpretation of a popular commander, Wizards of the Coast aimed to offer existing players a distinct, collectible variation of a card that occupies a significant mechanical space in the game's zombie-tribal strategies. It was released to appeal specifically to those who value alternate art treatments and the narrative richness of the Innistrad setting.
