BUG Zombies in Modern?
Modern Deck Help forum

I have been trying to make a viable Zombie deck in Modern literally since Innistrad, and I am starting to zero in a kind of a dredgy deck for it, but I need a lot of help with what to include to make it work well. This assumes no expensive cards like Tarmogoyf, Vengevine, or Cavern of Souls. The closest I have gotten at this point is Zombies in Sultai, but there are consistency problems which make the deck almost unplayable.
With Zombies in Modern, you want to play as many lords as possible. You get access to:
- Cemetery Reaper
- Death Baron
- Diregraf Captain
- Lord of the Undead
- Phantasmal Image (copy another lord)
- Undead Warchief
Green gives you Lotleth Troll and Putrid Leech. Diregraf Colossus, Cryptbreaker, Gravecrawler, Relentless Dead, Geralf's Messenger, and Prized Amalgam fill out the rest of the deck.
The only issue is curve. There aren't a whole lot of quality 1-drops in Modern for Zombies. You're pretty much stuck choosing between Cryptbreaker, Gravecrawler, AEther Vial, Diregraf Ghoul, Thoughtseize, and Inquisition of Kozilek.

I updated the deck linked to, but I need a fresh set of eyes.
