Scarab God Combo Zombie EDH

Combo: Grimgrin, Corpse-Born + Gravecrawler = Spend [B] to untap Grimgrin and gain +1/+1, as many times as you have the mana.

Combo Abusers: Zulaport Cutthroat , Diregraf Captain , Plague Belcher , Vengeful Dead , Grave Pact , Dictate of Erebos , Black Market

Combo #2: The good ol' reliable Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion . When both are in play, use 1 counter to do a damage to an opponent, then two damage to kill Triskelion . This causes Undying to trigger, bringing Triskelion back with 4 +1/+1 counters this time. Repeat this process infinitely at no cost, instant speed, and do infinite damage.

Grimgrin + Gravecrawler gives us lots of combo abuse potential. In the case that Gravecrawler gets exiled, or becomes otherwise unaccessable, the deck still makes tons of Zombie tokens to use as sacrifice fodder or they can be built up into an undefeatable Zombie army with all the Zombie anthems.

Token Makers: Cemetery Reaper , Cryptbreaker , Diregraf Colossus , Ghoulcaller Ghisa, The Scarab God , Liliana, Death's Majesty , Endless Ranks of the Dead , Liliana's Mastery

Zombie Anthems: Cemetery Reaper , Diregraf Captain , Lord of the Accursed , Lord of the Undead , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed , Risen Executioner , Undead Warchief , Death Baron , Liliana's Mastery , Caged Sun , Door of Destinies , Gauntlet of Power , Vanquisher's Banner

Razaketh, the Foulblooded isn't a Zombie. However, he finishes out the game if he's allowed to survive a turn. Produce 8 black mana (very easy with Cabal Coffers + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth) and play Razaketh. Some time before your next turn (assuming you don't have 6 extra mana this turn, which you may), you activate the ability 4 times, spending 8 life and sacrificing 4 Zombies. The cards you'll search out are the same every time, because it can search out a full infinite combo to win the game. You'll grab Rooftop Storm , Grimgrin, Corpse-Born , Diregraf Captain and Gravecrawler . You may already have some of these in play or in the graveyard, but fret not! Our graveyard is our friend. If a combo piece is in the yard, replace that piece with Havengul Lich and you can play it straight from the yard for 1 mana. Best part is that the only piece you have to pay mana for is Rooftop Storm . The other 3 pieces are Zombies and come into play for free afterward, whether from the graveyard or your hand. Once in play, you infinitely sac and play Gravecrawler from the graveyard. He's free to play due to Rooftop Storm and free to sac due to Grimgrin, Corpse-Born . This will cause each opponent to lose one life from each sacrifice, winning you the game. You also definitely have access to at least 8 mana. If 3 of that mana is blue, then you can sac a 5th Zombie to pull Counterspell and play the combo out much more safely.

Buried Alive can be used to put Triskelion + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Phyrexian Delver into your graveyard. Then all you need is a single reanimation spell to put all 3 into play. Target Phyrexian Delver , when his EotB effect triggers bring back Mikaeus, the Unhallowed , then just use any of our sac engines to sac Phyrexian Delver and bring back Triskelion . This, in addition to our plethora of card search means that we can get one of our two combos out very reliably.

*This is a list that I own in paper, the "Maybe Board" consists of future upgrades.
