During the age of Zendikar, zombies took a backseat to vampires as black's tribal creature; however, the release of M12 brought a plethora of powerful spells that interact synergistically with zombies. This is my take on a tribal deck using only cards from the Scars block and M12. The goal is to wipe all of your opponent's resources and creatures, then overrun him or her with your undead army. I've just recently made the deck UB, so it has more of a control-deck feel. I've got Ponder to dig and find the Vengeful Pharaoh/Zombie Infestation combo, and I have Mana Leak to help me keep big threats off the board.

Any suggestions, comments, or ratings will be greatly appreciated!
