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
The Zombie Master was originally released as part of the Alpha set in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield for the launch of Magic: The Gathering. As one of the game's earliest black-aligned creatures, it established the 'lord' mechanic for the zombie tribal archetype, granting regeneration and swampwalk to other zombies. The artwork, illustrated by Quinton Hoover, features a haunting, atmospheric depiction of an undead necromancer, which became iconic for its distinct fantasy aesthetic that defined the game's formative visual identity.
The International Collectors' Edition was released in 1993 as a non-tournament legal set intended for collectors and demonstration purposes. These cards are distinguished by their gold-bordered backs and square corners, differing from standard gameplay cards. This release was created to showcase the game's early art and design to an international audience, and while the cards were not permitted in official play, they remain significant historical artifacts that preserve the original artistic vision and card balance of the early Wizards of the Coast era.
