I love new preconstructed Commander decks! But if I already have a bunch of the cards in the deck, or if the deck doesn’t have much value in it, or if I am only interested in a few of its new cards, I’m not going to spend $35.00-$40.00 on the whole deck. I’d rather just buy singles!
Undead Unleashed was released alongside Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. This deck is all about zombies! If you already have a zombie deck like
The Scarab God
The Scarab God
At the beginning of your upkeep, each opponent loses X life and you scry X, where X is the number of Zombies you control.
{2}{U}{B}: Exile target creature card from a graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie.
When The Scarab God dies, return it to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.
, or just want some new graveyard shenanigans for your other Commander decks, there are some great singles from Undead Unleashed that are worth picking up.

Best New Cards to Buy From Undead Unleashed
Gorex, the Tombshell
Wizards of the Coast
Wizards of the Coast
This is the creature-centric version of Ethereal Forager, a card that dips into Legacy and even Vintage at times. Ethereal Forager is a card-advantage engine that buys back spells over the course of several turns of attacking.
Gorex, the Tombshell works very similarly to Forager. You can play it for just two mana by exiling three creatures to its additional cost. Then, every time Gorex attacks, you can add one of the exiled creatures back to your hand. But the reason I like Gorex so much is that it doesn’t have to survive through three opponents’ turns to draw you a card. It does so even if Gorex dies.
This legendary zombie turtle is currently less than $1.00. It’s a unique form of card advantage in mono-black and works great in tons of graveyard-focused Commander decks.

Ghouls’ Night Out
Wizards of the Coast
Wizards of the Coast
Five mana to reanimate four creatures? That’s an insane rate! Sure the creatures you bring back gain Decayed, but you still get all of their abilities!
Ghouls’ Night Out is a unique and powerful reanimation spell that is synergistic with a bunch of graveyard-matters commanders like Sidisi, Blood Tyrant,
The Scarab God
The Scarab God
At the beginning of your upkeep, each opponent loses X life and you scry X, where X is the number of Zombies you control.
{2}{U}{B}: Exile target creature card from a graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a 4/4 black Zombie.
When The Scarab God dies, return it to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next end step.
and
Old Stickfingers
Old Stickfingers
When you cast this spell, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal X creature cards. Put all creature cards revealed this way into your graveyard, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Old Stickfingers's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard.
just to name a few. Ghouls’ Night Out is currently about $2.00 which I think is a great price.

Best Reprints
Rooftop Storm
It is a good thing Rooftop Storm got reprinted! There’s been so much hype surrounding zombies since Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, that almost everything that didn’t get reprinted in the Undead Unleashed commander deck saw major price spikes.
Rooftop Storm enables a bunch of different combos in Commander, like with
Gravecrawler
Gravecrawler
This creature can't block.
You may cast this card from your graveyard as long as you control a Zombie.
/
Phyrexian Altar
Phyrexian Altar
Sacrifice a creature: Add one mana of any color.
or with
Acererak the Archlich
Acererak the Archlich
When Acererak enters, if you haven't completed Tomb of Annihilation, return Acererak to its owner's hand and venture into the dungeon.
Whenever Acererak attacks, for each opponent, you create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token unless that player sacrifices a creature of their choice.
. Because of its combo potential, Rooftop Storm was about $10.00 before its reprinting in Undead Unleashed. Now you can pick up a copy for about $2.00!

Endless Ranks of the Dead
Endless Ranks of the Dead was $10.00+ before its reprint in the Undead Unleashed Commander deck. Thanks to its reprint, it is now about $2.00. Just like Rooftop Storm, it is a good thing this card got a reprint, because if it didn’t, the demand for zombies, would have driven the price of this card through the roof.
Endless Ranks of the Dead is a must include for zombie-themed Commander decks. Turn after turn, it lets you grow your hoard of zombies exponentially until they overwhelm your opponents.
