Deck Help forum

Hi, I have recently started playing MTG after a 15 year break from the game. And I am now playing it with some good friends of mine. We all agreed on starting with Shadows over innistrad, and only buy cards from that block and "forwards" (no older cards)
SOI + EMN UB zombie. is the deck that i have made, but im not sure if i should change some of the cards, and if i should use any of the "maybe's" ive picked, what card should be replaced in that case?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks Wizno i will look into that. I really like the Westvale Abbey Flip, what about Voldaren Pariah Flip can help me clean the board even tho it isnt a zombie. Im a bit unsure how far i should take the zombie theme :P

Yes I would definitely consider Westvale Abbey Flip because that can be a game changer and, more likely, a game ender! Voldaren Pariah Flip is very good and is popping up in a lot of U/B zombie/emerge style decks. My concern with your deck right now is it doesn't have a lot of madness enablers to really take advantage of her early game. I would consider cards like Wharf Infiltrator to get some card and creature advantage. I would recommend looking at Collective Brutality as well. It's nice removal and another enabler.
Depending on how zombie centric you want your deck to be, I would say you don't even need 4 copies of Lili in the main board. She's amazing no doubt but if you incorporate more of the emerge strategy, I think you could at least side out 1 copy.

Yeah, my first attempt included the infiltrator just to get more out of my cards. And i really like voldaren. Atleast during playtest.

But i think what i want to do is keep it as zombie focused as possible. I could add Haunted Dead or stitchwing as another disc outlet aswell.

On second thought. If i remove 3 Graf Harvest and 1 Liliana, the Last Hope i could add 4 Sinister Concoction removal and discard

One of the more popular Synergizes popping up right now with zombies are the Emerge cards from EMN. I would consider looking at adding Distended Mindbender and/or Elder Deep-Fiend to your deck over cards like Geralf's Masterpiece. I would also suggest maybe adding 1-2 copies of Westvale Abbey Flip since you have resilient sack outlets in Haunted Dead, Prized Amalgam, and either Stitchwing (these also synergize well with the Emerge Eldrazi.
