Not a zombie tribal build. This deck focuses primarily on mill and maximizing ETB value on creatures by getting multiple activations through The Scarab God’s reanimation ability & a minor blink subtheme. Recently moved more towards a mill strategy to increase the options available for reanimation. The primary weakness is speed & a heavy reliance on the commander. This deck is pretty mana-hungry, so the most obvious improvements would be to the speed and quantity of mana ramp. I'm happy to consider any suggestions you might have.
