Good Day,

been thinking of building this deck. Atm i have the feeling it is a bit bloated and am searching for ideas to improve it. :)

Should i drop some so i wont stray too much from my initial Flayer of the Hatebound combo idea? Maybe some special land cards that would fit?

Generell ideas behind the cards:

Retribution of the Ancients: Board-Control, take the Undying Counter away so Undying triggers again

Taurean Mauler: accumulate Counter for Retribution of the Ancients (strong in MP)

Flayer of the Hatebound: sac via Carrion Feeder or Goblin Bombardment > trigger Undying > damage player or creature for 5 > take Counter away with Retribution of the Ancients > ??? > profit

Skullclamp: kill e.g. Gravecrawler for drawing cards and trigger Blood Artist Grave Pact

Geralf's Messenger: fits pretty nice imo, stack generator for Retribution of the Ancients and 2 damage for each Undying trigger (this accumulates if Flayer of the Hatebound is around)

Gray Merchant of Asphodel: nice life giver (quite strong in MP)

Erebos, God of the Dead: draw cards if swimming in health

Cabal Coffers: well.. mana

Zombie Apocalypse : late game if some massive butchering has been done
