The dead rise and new cards from Core Set 2019 make this deck extremely powerful. Boost your zombies, go wide and overtake the battlefield.

Recent Changes as of 5/4/19

Bontu's Last Reckoning removed.

Liliana, Dreadhorde General added 1.

Creatures

Cryptbreaker will typically be seen early. He can help with card draw or token generation. But to me he's mainly a chump blocker with special abilities.

Metallic Mimic is a great card to get out early. Giving future zombies permanent +1/+1 counters. Note they enter with +1/+1 counters. The creature does not have to be cast to get them. Therefore any tokens entering the battlefield get the counters.

Lord of the Accursed helps your zombies grow as well. And his ability to give zombies Menace makes for a tough battlefield when you start producing tokens.

Relentless Dead already has Menace and as long as you keep one mana open he's an endless chump blocker. He offers good graveyard recursion because you can do both abilities if he were to die provided you have the open mana. Use one trigger to get Relentless Dead back to your hand and another Zombie to the battlefield from the graveyard.

Diregraf Colossus is nice if you can get him out early. That way any time you cast a zombie spell you produce tokens.

Token Generation

Diregraf Colossus and Cryptbreaker both fall into this list.

Dark Salvation produces zombie tokens and is a removal spell all balled up into one.

Liliana's Mastery produces 2 zombie tokens and pumps zombies.

Open the Graves is an enchantment that ensures zombies keep on coming.

Removal

Grasp of Darkness is an extremely good removal spell for two mana at instant speed. Not to mention negative counters can kill an indestructible creature.

Fatal Push can take out just about anything at one drop instant speed.

Bontu's Last Reckoning is a very good board wipe despite its downside.

Planeswalkers

Liliana, Dreadhorde General is the perfect Planeswalker for this deck. Yes six mana is a hefty price to get her on board but at six loyalty counters that makes up for the high CMC. Her static ability rewards you with card draw when a creature dies. But the great thing is her +1 and -4 abilities work in conjunction with the static ability. The +1 helps you protect her by generating tokens and the -4 helps thin the board while also drawing you cards. Her Ultimate -9 ability does not affect you at all. It forces all opponents to choose one of each permanent they control (including Planeswalkers) and sacrifice all the rest. This is an extremely crippling ability.

Liliana, Death's Majesty is an all around good Planeswalker. Able to produce zombie tokens and return creatures from the graveyard. Plus a board wipe for an ultimate.

Liliana, Untouched By Death is a new Planeswalker. Her first ability isn't the best putting 3 cards in the graveyard but being able to do her ultimate right away makes up for that. Her second ability is removal and -X/-X counter removal at that. I do love my removal.

This deck will go through periodic changes as new cards become relevant.
