I recommended that you listen to the following while perusing this deck list: "My son. The day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name, Arthas. My child. I watched you with pride, as you grew into a weapon. Of rightousness. Remember, our line has always ruled with wisdom, and strength. And I know that you will show restraint, when exercising your great power. But the truest victory, my son, is stirring the hearts of your people. I tell you this, for when my days have come to and end. You, shall be king." - A Dead King

This deck is a control based enchant and zombie deck, inspired by the Lich King from World of Warcraft.

Opponents are encouraged to fight among one another through the use of curse cards (e.g. Curse of Inertia) and discouraged from attacking us through various enchants (e.g. Ghostly Prison. Other enchants (e.g. Endless Ranks of the Dead and Dreadhorde Invasion) and creatures (e.g. God-Eternal Oketra) allow us to slowly build our strength and steal our enemies' creatures (e.g. Grave Betrayal) as we bide our time and build our strength.

Our victory is usually one of attrition. Many of the cards in this deck chip away at our opponents' health while adding to our own (e.g. Sanguine Bond; stealing their very souls and using them to fuel our undead armies!

If, somehow, the light comes to their aid and they are able to make it through our endless onslaught, we have the option to defeat them through larger, more aggressive plays. Cards like Debt to the Deathless, Necromancer's Covenant, Glacial Plating + Blackblade Reforged, Skull Storm, Aetherflux Reservoir (the culmination of the shards of horror, despair, and suffering), and Laboratory Maniac each allow us to win in their own right.

Theme is the highest priority here, but any feedback on improvements, especially ones that allow us to keep the theme and focus of the deck in tact, are highly welcome!
