No real theme here, just a lot of good cards, several of them Gideons.

Synergies:

• Plague Belcher + Relentless Dead / Scrapheap Scrounger / Dread Wanderer
• Bone Picker + removal or combo above
• Gideon of the Trials's emblem + other Gideons
• Heart of Kiran + lots of Gideon PW loyalty counters

Ideas:

• Toolcraft Exemplar instead of Thraben Inspector? I like the card draw (especially since the mana curve is pretty low here) but being able to do the T2 Heart of Kiran thing is tempting.
• More/different removal/hate? There's lots of options here-- probably best to wait for the meta to settle out a bit before finalizing.
• Walking Ballistas? They're powerful and super popular these days but I'm not convinced they belong here.
• Could I get away with fewer lands? My gut says no, but it might be worth play-testing at 21-22 lands.
• Time to Reflect? It's not strictly speaking a zombie deck but...

As always, suggestions greatly appreciated.
