My first commander deck. It's loosely based off of a 60 card zombie deck that i ran for several years.I've been out of the game for 11 years, and they've added a lot of new toys for me to play with.

I'm uncertain about the mill suite I put in. I added it as a potential alternate win should i be unable to attack for some reason. If i were to drop it it'd probably be for a reanimator suite with Entomb, Buried Alive, Reanimate, Dread Return, and Victimize.

I'm running Gate to Phyrexia as an artifact answer, but it's pretty ugly, and I'm only 60% certain I have one hiding around in my collection, so suggestions for a replacement would be nice.

Cards that I gave serious consideration to, but ultimately didn't run:

Yawgmoth's Will

The Abyss

Call to the Grave

Grave Pact

Living Death

Morality Shift

And Sol Ring (this got cut because my black requirement is pretty intense.
