I play Pot of Greed..I mean Zombies! (2-1 FNM 5/5) (Standard MTG Deck)

My take on the Zombie decks coming out of Amonkhet. The focus is on things that die and come back. If they can't come back on their own they have help due to being a zombie.

The game can go later due to the recurring threats but also the board control spells.

I have the deck coming in the mail and I just noticed that I didn't order the Relentless Dead so I replaced them with Scrapheap Scrounger. I need to trade for a few more Metallic Mimic but will post the results of my FNM matches.

Only ordered 3 Liliana's Mastery so I added a Midnight Oil which I feel can really help. I won't have a hand later in the game anyways so the drawback is not that bad.

I only have 16 full art lands so I am swapping lands because I am weird like that. I am adding cradles because zombies.

Edit

Game 1 (2-0) Ultra jank. No clue what he really was trying to pull off. Apparently having 6 lands wasn't enough to even start playing.

Game 2 (1-2) white angels Lost game 1 to a lifelink angel and couldn't draw a single removal spell. Game 2 I swarmed him. Won in turn 5 or 6. Game 3 I lost due to not getting any removal again. Sided out 4x prized or 4x never / return, 1 cryptbreaker, fatal push, and midnight oil for 3 flaying tendrils.

Game 3 (2-1) zombie Lost game 1 when we were both at 5 life. We both flooded the board but then he managed to ultimate Liliana. He made 7 5/5 zombie tokens. GG Game 2 I had 1 land but managed to start swarming with 1 drops while he had a hand of 3 drops and 2 lands. By the time he got land 3 I was too far ahead. Game 3 involved Prized tricks to flood the board whenever he swapped creatures. Dropped a plague Belcher to kill a scrapheap and brought it back with 2 prized in the graveyard. Won next turn. Swapped out both Liliana, Liliana's mastery and zombie sorcery for 3x Pariah and 4x never / return.

The Liliana sorcery spell was useless so I am going to take those out. The (X)(X) kills it for me.
