hey just noticed that you are a black deck, and aren't using Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and was curious as to why

Personally I don't really like mana rocks which don't give at least half the value back you put into them. So I would probably take the Mana Geode out and put Signets, a Fellwar Stone or even an Expedition Map in, seeing that you run Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth .

I would suggest cutting some lands for some more mana rocks. 41 lands is to many in my opinion. You could use Dimir Signet Talisman of Dominance Fellwar Stone Bontu's Monument

Also you can run counterspells Counterspell Negate Mana Drain Pact of Negation to protect your zombie hoard.

Black as gotten some good removal recently Infernal Grasp Murderous Rider maybe even Ravenform

You should have Wand of Orcus this card is a powerhouse in my zombie deck. The Scarab God can be fun in the 99 although I use him as my commander personally.

Phyrexian Altar to go infinite with Gravecrawler

Liliana, Dreadhorde General in the best Lilly for zombies in my opinion.

Living Death to clear the board. Just sacrifice your own stuff before you cast it for maximum profit.

Noxious Ghoul is another amazing way to clear the board

Shepherd of Rot can be good early or late game and does a ton of damage to everyone with enough zombies in play

Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is insane ramp the. Throw down Zombie Master and everything you control is unblockable.

Here’s the link to my list if you want to check it out. It’s a little more competitive but still very casual to play if you ignore the combos. Scarab God and his undead apostles

Hey CrazyDanPsycho. Altered Ego is a fun clone card and I like that it's an honorary hydra (re. shapeshifter), but ultimately it didn't make the cut here.

I hear you on the reusable ramp cards, but Expedition Map is part of a suite to specifically assist with getting Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth online - it's why I'm running other land tutor cards like Nylea's Intervention, Pir's Whim & Sylvan Scrying as well.

Cheers DemMeowsephs!

I totally agree with most of your suggestions, however, cost is still a consideration as this list is something I'm trying to build IRL. Once I've finished building the deck in this form, I'll definitely be looking at getting some of those other cards. Many of those are cards I'd like to add to my collection as EDH staples anyway, things like Ancient Tomb, and a full set of fetchlands (as needed by Umbrella corporation). In the meantime, would you suggest I cut Orzhov Basilica for a basic?

Necropotence is a good one, I'll admit I forgot about that. What would you suggest I cut? Phyrexian Arena perhaps?

As for ramp, do you have any suggestions for cuts? That was one of the hardest things when building this deck. The Pearl Medallion, Jet Medallion, and Arcane Signet are worthy additions, though, like I said, I'm not sure what the cuts would be. I'm not cutting Weathered Wayfarer as i consider it to be one of the best cards in the deck. It allows me to get Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth easily as well as Vesuva and whatever other nonbasics i might want.

Hear that _NotJohn_, in fact I had it in here previously as it's one of my fave ramp cards in green. Once I decided to slot in Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , I made some land tutor accommodations to assist, hence the inclusion of Expedition Map, Pir's Whim & Sylvan Scrying. I agree that it's not technically a ramp card, but it plays into my big mana strategy and it made the most sense to categorize it under ramp. My flawed logic explained!

Are you specifically looking to ramp with artifacts? In my dimir list I've been using the monoblack ramp combo Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and if running enough lands with basic land types coffers is quite often good ramp on it's own. You could throw a Expedition Map in there for some consistence.
