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 card debuted in the Limited Edition Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, later appearing in the 1994 Revised Edition as part of the core set transition. Designed by Richard Garfield, the card was intended to provide a tribal lord for black-aligned undead creatures, granting them swampwalk and regeneration. It reflects the early development era of the game, where mechanics were often flavor-forward and focused on establishing distinct creature types within the color pie.
The illustration for the card was created by artist Christopher Rush, one of the foundational illustrators for the game's earliest sets. Rush utilized a stark, visceral style that defined the aesthetic of early Magic, leaning into the gothic horror tropes prevalent in fantasy gaming at the time. The card was well-received by players for its synergy with swamp-based decks, securing its place as a staple of early black-mana strategies throughout the game's initial growth.
