Zombie Ogre
Creature — Zombie Ogre

You can only move forward (well, downward) in a dungeon, never backwards or sideways.
(wotc • 2021-07-23)
Zombie Ogre's ability will trigger only once during your end step, no matter how many creatures died this turn. However, if no creatures have died so far this turn as the end step begins, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause a creature to die during the end step in time to have the ability trigger.

Zombie Ogre doesn't need to have been on the battlefield at the time the creature died for its ability to function.

To venture into the dungeon, a player moves their venture marker into the next room of the dungeon they are currently in. If they aren't currently in a dungeon, that player instead chooses a dungeon card from outside the game, puts it into the command zone, and moves their venture marker onto the first room.

Choosing the dungeon or room to venture into is part of resolving the venture into the dungeon keyword action. Once that choice is made, players may not respond until after the appropriate room ability has triggered.
(wotc • 2021-07-23)
A player may only have one dungeon in the command zone at a time.
(wotc • 2021-07-23)
If you somehow venture into the dungeon while a room's ability is on the stack, you will continue on in the dungeon. If you're already in the last room, complete that dungeon and start a new one.
(wotc • 2021-07-23)
Once you resolve the last room ability of a dungeon, that dungeon is now completed and is removed from the game.
