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 Magic: The Gathering Alpha set in 1993, representing the foundational mechanics of tribal synergy within the game. It was designed by Richard Garfield to provide a lord-like effect that granted Swampwalk and regeneration to all zombie creatures, a design philosophy that aimed to reward players for building focused, thematic decks. As one of the core black cards during the game's inception, it established a visual and mechanical archetype that would be revisited throughout the history of the trading card game.
The artwork for the card was created by Quinton Hoover, whose distinct, painterly style defined much of the early aesthetic of Magic: The Gathering. Hoover utilized a vibrant and somewhat haunting palette that departed from typical horror tropes, focusing instead on a surreal, almost theatrical composition. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its tactical utility and became a staple for early black-mana deck builders, solidifying its place as a recognizable icon of the game's primary expansion era.
