One day one of Thraben's resident's had an awful vision where the undead walked the earth and ravaged through the streets. No one believed the poor Thraben resident and developed the nickname of Thraben Doomsayer. the resident prepared for the day the zombies would attack. Little did the human race know they had little time.
Got the idea of the deck when I saw my friends Xathrid Necromancer and had an idea to create a black and white human/zombie deck. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am still a noob at MTG
Keep in mind this is Budget. If you are willing to spend more money on this deck follow the following replacements:
2x
Masako the Humorless
-> 2x Amulet of Vigor
3x Cemetery Reaper -> 3x Death Baron
4x Scoured Barrens -> 4x Temple of Silence or 4x Isolated Chapel
2x Ravenous Demon
-> 2x Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
Ideal start for this Deck
Turn 1: Swamp -> Quest for the Gravelord
Turn 2: Plains ->
Gather the Townsfolk
Turn 3: Plains -> Xathrid Necromancer
Turn 4: Swamp -> Thraben Doomsayer -> Bone Splinters to get rid of anything and spawn the first of your zombies.
The rest of the cards are situational and work great with each other.
--Card Breakdown--
Removals:
Blind Zealot -- A great 3 drop, 2/2 with intimidate. Use this to deal damage and if there is an annoying creature on the enemy's side, use its ability and BAM you get a 2/2 zombie because its a HUMAN!
Fleshbag Marauder -- Use this to sac a human and they sac any creature and BAM another 2/2 zombie token.
Bone Splinters -- 1 drop to destroy ANY target creature? of course the sacrificing part isn't a big problem cause we'll get a 2/2 zombie from it.
Buffs and Supports:
Cemetery Reaper -- Our zombies will get +1/+1 and its 2nd ability is great to because you can target an enemy graveyard.
Masako the Humorless
-- Because our zombie tokens will enter tapped, she makes it possible for them to block in case anything dare challenges our zombie army PlUS shes a human!
Whip of Erebos -- All our zombies have lifelink now.
Intangible Virtue
-- This card is amazing. +1/+1 and Vigilance for token creatures! great for our humans and zombies.
Death Pit Offering
-- This card has to be used in the right situation. If you have a Xathrid Necromancer or more and a couple of human tokens,
Death Pit Offering
will create a massive army of 4/4 zombie tokens or even up to 6/6 with vigilance with Cemetery Reaper and
Intangible Virtue
or even 8/8 if Thraben Doomsayer's fateful hour is active.
Token Pumpers:
Thraben Doomsayer -- Great card with the ability to pump 1/1 human tokens each turn. His fateful hour ability is amazing too when things get a little tight.
Gather the Townsfolk
-- basic token spawner, but a key card in the deck.
Increasing Devotion -- a bigger version of
Gather the Townsfolk
Quest for the Gravelord -- the earlier you play this card, the better. because so much sacrificing is going on, this thing will rack counters yielding 5/5 zombie giants in no time.
Heavy Hitter:
Ravenous Demon
-- 4/4 for 5 mana, but his flip ability will be no problem for us because of our human supply. a 9/9 flying trampler is pretty scary.
+1 would be appreciated Thanks!
