Grave Defiler Since they typically play an Aggro game, Zombie Typal decks need a consistent stream of card advantage to push through removal and board wipes

People use proxies for a bunch of extremely normal reasons: - Playtesting new decks before spending money - Commander upgrades without chasing down every last staple immediately - Cube maintenance (updating lists without re-buying a small nations GDP) - Kitchen table games where the goal is fun, not authentication theater - Protecting valuable cards by keeping originals safe while you play with substitutes If your group is on board, proxies are often the simplest way to keep games creative, fair, and actually happening
I hope my vision/suggestion is of some usage to you.
