The Dreadhozolith
Yeah, companions are great, but have you tried building with the best artifact from Ikora: Lair of Behemoths?
The Ozolith offers great power to anyone who figures out how to make use of counters – and they don’t even have to be just +1/+1s (though for this deck, they will be.) Dreadhorde Invasion will supply a steady number of counters that pile up into a massive army of zombies. Gleaming Overseer makes the stack harder to kill and block, while Toll of the Invasion, Lazotep Plating, and Tale’s End can also break up your opponent’s game plan (that last one is excellent against companions, by the way.)
The enchantment also makes sure you have a body at the start of every combat, so you’ll always have somewhere to place The Ozolith’s counters, but if you need an alternative you can make a huge lifelinker out of Murderous Rider.
