# Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver
- **Mana Cost:** `{2}{U}{B}` (CMC: 4)
- **Type:** Legendary Creature — Zombie Warrior
- **Power/Toughness:** 3/3

## Oracle Text
Whenever another Zombie you control dies, if it didn't have decayed, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with decayed. (It can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)
At the beginning of your end step, you may sacrifice a Zombie. If you do, draw a card.
