During one pass, I noticed that a few undying creatures weren't played, as black's aggro was a bit lacking, so I tweaked some cards here and there.

One card to come out of that was the idea of an undying lord. Inspired by Flayer of the Hatebound, this card replaced Kokusho, the Evening Star. It is cool that, while he still leads very well in an aggro deck, he became a very fun build-around that can be used in more midrange-y decks as just a value creature that sometimes makes you win out of nowhere if you set up your deck with a heavy unearth or undying theme, or even picked up a Zombify or Nether Soul.
