"Rotting in a graveyardEating little girls with bad intentOh, Necrolung"
So what we have here is a very casual deck that's mostly meant for some casual multiplayer with some friends.
Basically, I've revised this into a mix of aggro and graveyard shenanigans. Main goal is to get zombies into my graveyard, pull them out for cheap with
Unearth
or
Zombie Apocalypse
, and then either put out a Zombie Master with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth on the field or cycle a
Gempalm Polluter
for the win.
On the creature side, we're going with the basic essentials for a zombie deck. Gravecrawler & Stromgald Crusader do the deeds early on, while my Unbreathing Horde, Cemetery Reaper, Death Baron, Zombie Master, do the mid-game pumping/support, and Korlash, Heir to Blackblade and Grave Titan end the game pretty quickly if they stay out for long.
Tortured Existence lets me repeatedly redo Korlash, Heir to Blackblade 's grandeur ability (discard a Gravecrawler for maximum efficiency) and also get back a key zombie I need (such as a
Gempalm Polluter
to re-do his cycling finisher).
Zombie Master can very quickly end the game if I've got Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth out.
Unearth
is key - I can either bring back a zombie they just killed OR use it & Tortured Existence to pull a discarded one onto the field for cheap.
Unholy Grotto
does more of the same - Putting graveyard creatures on my library for recasting (or use it and
Gempalm Polluter
to repeat his cycling until the opponents are dead.
Crypt of Agadeem
is simply more mana ramp so I can hopefully cast Army of the Dead as quickly as possible.
So I know this has some flaws, of course, but as I said, it's meant for casual play with friends, particularly when we do our quarterly zombies vs. werewolves vs. vampires three-way duel to the death. I know their decks well enough to know what's a threat to me and what's not.
Having said that, I'm always open to suggestions and advice. I'm debating putting in some Korlash, Heir to Blackblade, as that accelerates the mana and makes a nasty bastard (that I can quickly get back with all of my recursion). I'm also considering Carrion Feeder to give a more reliable sac outlet for my Gravecrawler. I mean to get another Cabal Coffers or two, and I'd eventually like to get some more Zombie Master and possibly an Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, but then again this deck isn't a huge priority in terms of competitiveness, as it's only for kitchen table games, so there's no need to buy that pricey of a card.
