Zombie Cutthroat

Zombie Cutthroat was originally printed in the 2002 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Onslaught. Within the game's lore, the card represents the decay and aggression typical of the Black mana faction during a period where creature types like Zombies received significant mechanical support. The design utilizes the morph ability, a central mechanic of the Onslaught block that allowed players to cast creatures face-down as colorless 2/2s, introducing a layer of bluffing and tactical uncertainty to combat.

The version found in The List is a curated reprint included by Wizards of the Coast to populate boosters with cards from across the game's long history. The illustration, rendered by artist Darrell Riche, maintains a gritty, traditional aesthetic consistent with the early 2000s era of the game. While not a centerpiece of competitive play, the card serves as a nostalgic touchpoint for collectors who appreciate the design philosophies and thematic expansions of the Onslaught block.
