This deck is one of my first brews. It is strongly influenced by this Deck Mardu Crawler (competitive modern league) I tried to focus on the Zombie tribe without beeing too tribal. The deck is focused on resilient creatures(Relentless Dead), and different graveyard strategies, such as flashback and delve. I tried not to focus on one graveyard strategy, so I wont be too vulnerable to hate like Grafdigger's Cage

-Cryptbreaker is what we want to play first turn. Then in the second turn discard Gravecrawler and make a token. Cryptbreaker is also nice late game to draw cards.

-Faithless Looting ads some value discard.

-Gravecrawler isone of the cards we want do discard and ads some resilient creatures

-Stitcher's Supplier just keeps the graveyrad full for Gurmag Angler also generates lots of playoptions with flashback-cards like Lingering Souls or Faithless Looting

-Lightning Bolt I am not to sure about this one. Nice one drop, but maybe I will exchange it with Lightning Helix

-Relentless Dead is just an annoying creature that is hard to get rid of. It is also one of the few defensive creatures.

-Liliana, Untouched By Death keeps the graveyard full while putting some lifeswing on the battlefield. She also is helpful to cast Gurmag Angler from the graveyard or just flood the enemy with cheap creatures. She also can defend herself a bit.

-Gurmag Angler can sometimes be cast as soon as turn 2 (Faithless Looting + Stitcher's Supplier)

Tips and ideas are more than welcome.

(Sideboard not finished. I would love Leyline of Sanctity and Leyline of the Void but they are probably too expensive.
