My take on modern zombiscuits. This is a personal list I've made on MTGO with some success and some whiffs. big difference in this list versus online is running verdant catacombs here where online I'm just running some black fetches, obviously the former would be the ideal. Earlier versions ran Prized Amalgam but when the deck felt like it was better as a BG deck the blue splash felt rough since otherwise there were too many times where the discard outlets weren't there and they were stuck or a Grafdigger's Cage came down and left me with not reasonable way of getting him out there. Lotleth Troll and more removal just felt better over the prized and Haunted Deads though the latter are in the sideboard for those times where cheating in a flier seems necessary not totally sold on them though even there.

The curve is rather low, mostly being 1s and 2s, the curve topper being Diregraf Colossus who helps make your zombie horde get nuts the longer he's out there, Grisly Salvage and Grapple with the Past help fill the graveyard with zombies to make it bigger and nothing's better than casting a Gravecrawler out of the yard with one on board giving you 4 power for 1 mana. Graf Harvest is one of the best cards in the deck since it gives all your zombies menace which may as well be the equivalent of island walk that fish decks use a lot of times. And in the event you get caged or wiped, the harvest can still provide creatures to eat up into fresh 2/2s that sometimes just allow you to refill the board with gravecrawlers again if there isn't a cage.

Recently updated to include Dread Wanderer since it's just a strictly better card over the beloved Diregraf Ghoul so I wanted to update the list for almond cat release.
