So, yes, there are opportunities where doubling a Legendary Creature that you then have to sacrifice a copy to the legendary rule actually can benefit you. She’s a Mono-Black Azra Warlock that whenever you sacrifice a creature allows you to pay either a Blue or Black mana to draw a card. I’ve never seen a Zombie build of the deck, but there is another Legendary Creature, Kels, Fight Fixer who does see play in some Zombie Commander decks. These include Commanders such as Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth, which whenever a creature you control dies, you get to investigate – create a Clue token you can sacrifice for two generic mana to draw a card. Keep in mind that in older formats there are many cards that have synergy with having to sacrifice permanents. But, are these tokens you have to sacrifice actually useless? Narfi doesn’t have an enter the battlefield trigger, so you basically get a useless token you have to sacrifice. Ludevic will mill you an additional card, which can be both good or bad depending on the build of your particular Zombie deck. That’s good for Acererak, who can give you an additional chance to Venture into the Dungeons from Adventures of the Forgotten Realms. However, keep in mind that you then get an additional enter the battlefield trigger. Necroduality entered a Standard format with multiple good Legendary Zombies, including Acererak the Archlich, Ludevic, Necrogenius and Narfi, the Zombie King all seeing significant play in Zombie decks.
Perhaps the only awkward thing about Necroduality is that it’s not all that fun when casting Legendary Creatures, since you can only control one copy in play at a time. The popular enchantment Rooftop Storm, which lets you cast Zombie creature cards for free, essentially gives you two free copies of a creature. In older formats, the popular trigger doubling artifact Panharmonicon gets you an additional token with Necroduality.
This mythic rare from Innistrad: Crimson Vow makes it so that whenever a nontoken Zombie creature comes into play on your side of the battlefield, you get a token copy of that creature! They don’t even have to be cast, so whether they return from the graveyard, or come straight into play from your hand or your library, you get the free copy. Now, Blue and Black Zombies may once again gain a competitive edge in not just Standard, but perhaps even Modern, with a Zombie creature doubling card called Necroduality! In the original Innistrad days, mono-Black Zombies were a dominant force in competitive play.
Zombies have long been a popular tribe in Magic the Gathering, and for quite some time, Blue & Black Zombies have made noise in Commander.
