# Lord of the Undead Lord of the Undead represents a key moment in zombie tribal development. As an early lord that pumps the entire zombie archetype, it established a template that defined how the creature type would be supported for years. Collectors value this card for its historical significance in zombie strategies rather than raw power level. The Planeshift printing remains the original, making nonfoil copies the standard reference. Foil versions exist but weren't heavily printed during that era, making them moderately scarcer. Condition matters considerably here—the card's age means finding well-preserved copies requires patience. For zombie enthusiasts building around the tribe's roots, this rare represents foundational design philosophy.
