My own brew. Deck has gone 5-0 and 3-2 the two times I've gone into a league with it.

Ideal starts

Turn 1

Main engine is Cryptbreaker, always glad to see him in starting hand.

Turn 2

Following up with a Metallic Mimic or discarding a Haunted Dead is the ideal turn 2. Either start pumping up our zombies, or put something useful in our yard. Either way, we're building up to using the second effect of Cryptbreaker

Turn 3

Our deck's options open up on turn 3 with cards like Diregraf Collosus, Drana, Liberator of Malakir, or even playing a Relentless Dead with a open to bring him back to the hand.

---

Synergies

The basic synergies in the deck are Haunted Dead + Prized Amalgam, Metallic Mimic and Westvale Abbey   with the zombie tokens, and Cryptbreaker discarding Voldaren Pariah   or other grave-friendly cards.

---

Removal

Fatal Push and Grasp of Darkness are our removal of choice, with 4 Dark Salvation working as both very flexible removal (often removing 4 drops for a single ) and token generation.

---

Sideboard

Finally, our sideboard includes:

• Negate for control matchups, with Ceremonious Rejection working particularly well as a complimentary counterspell against control and Aetherworks decks.
• Lost Legacy helps with the Cat Lady matchup, and can often be sideboarded in if you find yourself having trouble against a Radiant Flames or similar card.
• Make Obsolete is amazing against Servo decks and can even be boarded in to counter Whirler Virtuoso.
• Ruinous Path is our goto for any deck that goes big, often replacing the Fatal Pushes we have in our deck.
• Essence Extraction works particularly well against pure aggro.

Optional in the sideboard is From Under the Floorboards , which is nice to have against control or slower aggro decks.
