Simple Zombie madness. Got some tasty combos to show your opponent why our water-logged zombies are top notch Budget fodder. Here's the play-by-play of the damage your undead are going to be doing.
Gravecrawler -- The bread and butter of the deck. You're going to be sacrificing this brain-eating weenie at least once a turn. Heart of all the combos you're going to be using. We'll get to those later.
Carrion Feeder -- This lovely creature is going to couple quite nicely with the Gravecrawlers you're going to be sacrificing every turn or so. A nice turn two move is T1 Grave Crawler T2 Play Carrion Feeder, Attack with Gravecrawler for 2, Sac it for +1/+1, and then play it back with your final mana. Tasty!
Cemetery Reaper -- Mostly for the +1/+1, games move too quickly to really take advantage of the secondary ability. Pumps up Gravecrawlers and Carrion feeders with ease, however, and when you have extra mana laying around you may as well pump out a 2/2 Zomb-O.
Diregraf Captain -- Another +1/+1 blocker, this baby's final ability is really what we're after. When we start Saccing Gravecrawler 3 or 4 times a turn, Those 1 damage pings start to hurt (especially with multiples on the field).
Grimgrin, Corpse-Born -- This guy can sac as many times as he wants, and with 5 or 6 unused mana after the turn he's cast, he can easily turn into an 11/11 if you want him to by saccing your gravecrawlers, letting him attack and kill at least two of your oppononents' creatures. Fun!
Doom Blade -- Removal for all those pesky homeboys out there.
Havengul Lich -- The card that gave me the idea for this deck. you're going to be getting your creatures back on the field with ease, my friends. Even your big bruisers, and without having to tap him you're going to be able to cycle through a bunch of creatures a turn for saccing purposes. Plus, once you got Rooftop Storm on the field he'll be able to pull up all of your creatures and then take Carrion Feeder's ability just to sac them again, making for a very scrumptious snack indeed.
Graveborn Muse -- Truly the heartbeat of the deck. Midgame you're going to be wanting to draw as many cards as possible, and you'll realize that keeping a full hand is completely worth the cost of life. Alongside Plunge into Darkness, you'll be able to maintain both health and a healthy card advantage. See what I did there.
Lich's Tomb
-- You can just taste the flavor, can't you. So crisp. Honestly though, this artifact is an awesome way to keep in the game once you have all of the necessary pieces in place to overrun your opponents decidedly living creatures... or should I say prey. With between 1 and 5 life left, This guy will ensure you 3 or 4 turns of safety while you sac your lands and get your beasties ready for the fight.
Rooftop Storm -- I don't know why this guy saw next to no play when it was in standard... it's so fun with Zombie tribal. This guy is crucial for all of those combos we have lined up, and with all of the card draw from Graveborn Muse you're sure to wind up with one in the first 6 or 7 turns. Also lets you pull even the biggest baddies out of your graveyard for just 1 with Havengul Lich. Yay. Now, without any further adieu, lets check those comboz.
===============================================
Combo-licious shenanigans:
Rooftop Storm + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born/Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler = an infinite/infinite ready to swing
Rooftop Storm + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born/Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler + Diregraf Captain = infinite damage to target opponent.
Rooftop Storm + Havengul Lich + Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler + Geth, Lord of the Vault = an infinite / infinite havengul lich who can swing with intimidate for the win
Rooftop Storm +
Lich's Tomb
+ Gravecrawler = prevent all damage dealt to you indefinitely
Alrighty, so that's it. I just came up with this over the last couple hours, so any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. Note the empty sideboard. Help me fill it up.
