The strategy for this deck is to get a ton of zombies to get a ton of card draw. Hopefully this will result in getting Doomsday or Demonic Consultation in your hand and end it with Laboratory Maniac. Depending on the deck I am playing against and what cards I have in my hand the doomsday pile it would consist of Laboratory Maniac, some graveyard retrival, Flux, a counterspell, and some other draw spells. Having Varina, Lich Queen out in during the endgame will help finish the game with her draw ability. I have also recently added a turn 1 win condition consisting of a island or a swamp, Laboratory Maniac, Lotus Petal, Dark Ritual, Demonic Consultation, and Gitaxian Probe it is a bit of a long-shot but each card added did have tremendous value to the deck as a whole.
