Open to suggestions!I believe this deck needs a bit of card draw to populate the player's hand. I'm thinking about replacing some Dream Twist with some other car. Just not sure which yet.

"Fusing intelligence with the power of undeath requires inspiration of the darkest kind."

The Unthinkable Graveyard is a deck built to guarantee summoning control and speed. The wizard will often be casting from the graveyard instead of his own hand. It has been perfected over time and gained both speed and power.

With the simple idea of milling yourself to populate your graveyard, cards that depend on nothing else than themselves will make you easily cast powerful Zombies.

The win condition of this Deck is by killing your enemy with either Geralf's Masterpiece with its great Flying ability 7/7, or with Avatar of Woe's fear + destroy creature ability.

That said, be ready to mill yourself and discard everything you have. You only need mana and mill spells in your hand.

Rule #1Always get Gravecrawler killed/discarded. Never cast it from your hand. Use him to kill your opponent's early game creatures. Also get ready to use Dismember/Sinister Concoction/Countersquall specially early game. See next rule.

Rule #2This deck takes 3~4 turns to ramp, but it ramps really well. Never cast a creature from your hand, unless it's Gravecrawler or Cryptbreaker.

Rule #3Cryptbreaker is the best card for early game in this deck. With it, try to get as much 2/2 zombies as you can while you mill yourself later on.

After playing this deck for quite some time, I realized that: 1) there's no space for Zombie lords here, because I'm not having a horde of Zombie tokens and 2) If a card does not take advantage of the graveyard, then it doesn't belong here, because it either gets difficult to play it or it wouldn't just combo with anything.

Item "2)" above just illustrates how well Avatar of Woe fits here. Being able to easily cast it is great, not to mention that late game the player will be able to destroy powerful green creatures in no time.
