Faster Better Stronger. —March 12, 2014

made the deck faster by taking out most of the higher drop cards and replaced them with smaller drops. added Bloodghast and Stromgald Crusader for mana dumping. removed Lord of the Undead and Death Baron and replaced Bone Splinters with Abrupt Decay for better removal. thank you to everyone who helped make this deck what it is so far.

instead of putt blood scrivener maybe think about altar's reap, who ask you to sacrifice a creature instead of loosing life point :) and if you put a blood artist, you will not loose a life point

i'm trying to do the perfect onetry Rob zombie deck (it's mine)

Maybe put 1 one Nykthos, and in a side cavern of souls if a controle gamer is ur' oppenent the geralf messenger is a good card indeed but i don't like to play with it, but i'm thinking to put festering goblin instead of diergraph goul ..i don't know all zombie are so cute in a way :D

I'm surprised Death Baron , Cemetery Reaper , and Endless Ranks of the Dead aren't in here. The Baron is great at forcing your opponent to constantly lose their field and the Reaper can counter cards like Scavenging Ooze flawlessly. Endless Ranks of the Dead is the best sacrifice generator for zombies and can get out of control if left unchecked.

I'm going through some testing with the deck and took out my deathbaron's for Diregraf Captain . I know that deathbaron is an amazing lord, but we already have so much creature removal.... BECAUSE .. lol, i took out Endless Ranks of the Dead for Gravepact giving us even more removal. Cemetery Reaper is definitely on my sideboard. I don't know, i want it to be a sacrifice deck and i'm trying to get maximal utility out of sacrificing my creatures. If i can gain 3 life and do 2 damage to my opponent for each 2 mana and make you sacrifice a creature yourself. Deathbaron, to me seems better suited for a deck that has a lot of token/ creatures and because i took out the aforementioned cards it lost a little bit of it's power. That being said, i have them in wait for any changes, if you have see anything i'm missing. I'm no expert.

I almost completely forgot about the Slitherhead ! A wonderful 1 drop for sacrifice decks.

oooo, it is a zombie <.< .. shifty eyes .. no .. because i can't bring it back and use it's scavenge ability, and i'd rather get a 2/2 zombie with it if it comes down to later game use. Good suggestion though. I missed the zombie subtype on that one.

Heh, that was always my issue running it too. I usually opted to scavenge it to make a card like Gutless Ghoul tougher to kill early game.

Hmm, that is true actually. It is versatile even for one of my lords. I think you may have convinced me. I don't HAVE to use it's scavenge ability. I like i like.

Oh, thank you for reminding me. I was going to use some Abrupt Decay on the sideboard and just throw in some duel lands for that exact reason. Grafdigger's Cage shuts down my Gravecrawler already and was going to sideboard it for that.

Haha, it was more of a joke on the title than anything. :P Every deck has its weaknesses.

Don't forget about Ground Seal , too. Shit ain't fun.

But a deck needs to know it's weakness :P So thank you for pointing them out lol. I needed a way to get enchantment removal in here anyways.

Ground Seal kind of actually works in my favor if they are going to use any spells against my graveyard. Now that i don't have Ghoulcaller's Chant anymore i'll definitely sideboard 2 of those bad boys
