My brand new Sheoldred, Whispering One deck...It started out as a zombie tribal deck with Gisa, Ghoulcaller at the helm but i just could never get it to work. So instead i promoted Sheoldred to take the helm and threw in some good-stuff cards to make this deck fun and winnable.

I tried to stay away from targeting spells like Doom Blade and the like, the only one in here is Hero's Downfall, and thats mostly for the planeswalker kill. I try to use the sacrifice ability to get rid of my opponents field and also giving my opponents creatures negative toughness with things like Dismember and Grasp of Darkness since my meta likes to play with a lot of the indestructible Gods.

I am only using cards that i have and that is whats listed, so that is why Cabal Coffers, Caged Sun, Contamination and Bitterblossom are not in here. Though i would very much like to have them, so if anyone has them please feel free to hit me up for a trade.

Theyre are a few creatures im not too sure about in here as of yet, like Artisan of Kozilek, Sangromancer, Reaper from the Abyss and Triskelion (he's only in for the mikaeus combo) otherwise hes basically a dead draw. So any help on my creatures and what to add would be great.

Otherwise im pretty happy with this build, please vote and comment. Thanks.

Also does anyone know how to put a youtube video into my description, i cant seem to figure it out. And if not the video just the audio?
