However, Golden Lord is straight up a Zombies card, Zombie World doesn't conflict with Eldlich cards gameplan and is good right now, and by running a small zombies package and a more formidable Eldlich Line I know what the deck is - an Eldlich deck that runs Zombie World and very occasionally Balerdroch. So the marriage of the two archetypes was not as natural as you might have suspected. When I sit down to pilot a deck I want to know what deck I am piloting, not some hybrid deck where half the time I'm playing Eldlich and half the time I'm playing Zombies. The Eldlich engine is a testy thing that takes tuning to hum, and previous builds have felt schizophrenic.
I've struggled when building Zombie Eldlich decks in the past.
The Eldlich cards are Zombie support, right? I mean, look, they say Zombie right on the card? Well, not quite.
