Multiplayer Commander Deck. UB Tribal zombies. Braaaaaiiinnsss! Grimgrin, Corpse-Born can be turned into a Voltron, but this deck goes the zombie horde route instead. He can still commander damage people out, however he doesn't have a lot of protection so be cautious with investing too heavily into him.

Zombie synergies are some of the best in the game and their revival effects make them so resilient. A Wrath of God is almost a bonus to us!

Rooftop Storm is a broken card. Add Gravecrawler to the mix and you can make Grimgrin or Carrion Feeder a one-hit-wonder pretty quickly. (This is a really painful process on MTGO...)

Living Death effects will bring back the horde in good fashion, but look to sac. all your creatures first. The deck has no haste outside a couple equipment(Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots), so attacking out of the blocks with the whole team is not really an option. Remember this if you bring back Sidisi, Undead Vizier.

Noxious Ghoul helps remove value from your opponents when this happens.

Withered Wretch is in the deck also to remove fatties from your opponents graveyards before you reanimate.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel can just win you the game if he comes in a couple of times.

Be cautious when mass reanimating as you could take a huge hit from Graveborn Muse!

Grave Titan is amazing, but not actually a Zombie, so beware of this when using Patriarch's Bidding or Zombie Apocalypse.

Overperformer's mention to Tombstone Stairwell which makes new tokens EVERY UPKEEP!!!. Be sure to find a suitable sac. outlet such as Altar of Dementia for this house. Undead Alchemist is a house with this too, as you can quickly mill someone out by regularly hitting creatures, making more zombies to put through the grinder.

Also Call to the Kindred is amazing in a tribal deck as it places zombies on the battlefield. Now you have them coming from your hand, graveyard and library!

Given the heavy reanimation theme, I've steered clear from exiling stuff from my graveyard. Cards like Empty the Pits can be game winning, especially with Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx but it's very all in. Another interesting omission is Lich Lord of Unx and honestly it's just because im not a fan but would make a great addition!

Maybeboard is Gisa and Geralf. Could even be an alternate commander, but as they are not a zombie, I've left them out. The deck has so many mass reanimate that maybe being to play a zombie once a turn from the graveyard is good, but I've cut them out.
