What it does
Other Zombie creatures have swampwalk. (They can't be blocked as long as defending player controls a Swamp.)
Other Zombies have "black mana: Regenerate this permanent."
They say the Zombie Master controlled these foul creatures even before his own death, but now that he is one of them, nothing can make them betray him.

Where it came from
Zombie Master was originally printed as part of the Alpha set in 1993, serving as one of the fundamental cards in Magic: The Gathering to establish the tribal synergy mechanics for the Undead creature type. As a centerpiece of the 30th Anniversary Edition, this version serves as a commemorative re-release designed to honor the legacy of the game's earliest years, retaining the classic aesthetic while utilizing modern card stock and printing techniques.
The original card art was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, a seminal artist in the early days of the game whose work is characterized by a distinctive, flowing style that helped define the visual identity of early Magic cards. The design sought to encapsulate the theme of necromantic leadership, providing a functional anthem effect that grants swampwalk and regeneration to all zombies on the battlefield, a mechanic that has remained iconic in casual and competitive formats for decades.
