Dreadhorde Rewrite

“

One from many.
By force of will.
Forged by might.
Driven by fire.
Born by death.
To rise eternal.

Background

Zombies of Amonkhet are eternalized creatures, known as Eternals, are the conclusion of those who pass the trials and are slain by Hazoret. They form Bolas' lethal undead fighting force, the Dreadhorde, that has transcended their mortal capabilities. They are embalmed in layers of lazotep, a valuable blue mineral, that preserves their lifeforce as well as deeds in life. The Eternals are elite soldiers with all the skill and prowess of living soldiers, but none of the disadvantages that arise in living beings, such as emotions, hesitation, or disloyalty - and not being "living beings" lets them be deployed across planes, given a means of transportation like the Planar Bridge. Bolas has personally crafted all of Amonkhet to create just such an army. The five virtues of anointed in the trials are twisted into Tactical Thought, Adaptability, Resilience, Ruthlessness and Fanaticism, virtues more to Bolas liking. Before the Hour of Devastation, they were stored in Bolas's great necropolis.

Not only winners of the Trials were transformed into eternals. Several of the dangerous fauna of Amonkhet, such as hippos, manticores, crocodiles, and even demons were also eternalized and served in the Dreadhorde.

Standard Equipment

Various weapons, cartouches that retain the skill they had in life

Other

Standard Tactics: Most eternals will use physical attacks, being skilled in combat and with most weapons. Eternals with wings will fly up after they grabbed their opponent and drop them, making them plummet to their death. With the Elderspell activated,

Weaknesses: Hive Mind mentality, can be taken advantage of even with their immense skill and training. Absorbing a Planeswalker spark will cause them to explode. Only can absorb sparks after the Elderspell is activated. Their skill is tied to their cartouches, so presumably by destroying the cartouche, it will completely weaken them.
