This deck aims to abuse Gempalm Polluter in an aggressive shell. Creatures are either annoying when they die like Festering Goblin and Shambling Goblin or un-die Butcher Ghoul or re-buy Ghoulraiser and Gravedigger. The other creatures are there to bring the life totals down fast Maggot Carrier and (I love this card) Shepherd of Rot. You break the symmetry of the life loss with aggression and Gempalm Polluter (effect can't be countered!). There are also Nameless Inversions as removal that you can buy back (it's a zombie) along with every other zombie using Ghoulcaller's Chant.

The ideal situation would be to get a few attacks in, a couple Shepherd of Rot activations, and a Gempalm Polluter cycle to win the game. There are many ways to re-buy your Polluters, but currently not many ways to find them. The maybeboard is full of possible zombies that self-mill to help you find polluters. Problem is that you will sacrifice a lot of aggression to go the self-mill route. There might even be a controlling version of this deck.
