Essentially a Zombie Tribal deck, but with tricks. Nothing too far out of the ordinary, just wanted a reliable, fun, monoblack commander deck. Any suggestions are welcome! This is my pet deck, and I'm always looking to make it better.

Early game is mostly about card draw, but nothing serious. It then uses Gisa as a Zombie creation engine, always working towards Army of the Damned, using Merchant of Asphodel at peak devotion, and and Living Death if it loses a lot of creatures and/or Zombie Apocalypse in response to board wipes.
