Diregraf Horde

Creature — Zombie

When this enters the battlefield, create two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens with decayed. When you do, exile up to two target cards from graveyards. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at the end of combat.)

edit to my last comment: I goldfished it a bit, and felt like Wakedancer on it's own is a bit slow because of its two power. Since you want to be aggressive, maybe Diregraf Horde or Boneclad Necromancer is a better pick here, they both exile cards from a graveyard and make tokens. They do cost 5 mana, but you get the 3 power like Kalitas has, with exception of the lifelink. If you want your opponent's creature's to be exiled at instant speed, you might wanna take a look at Rotten Reunion

@ LightEntropy thanks for your comment, but as legendofa already mentionen, one can't see the cards (and their names) you are talking about. Try typing two open square brackets, then the name of the card and then two closing square brackets everything with no "space" between it and it should be fine.

@ legendofa Thank you! Diregraf Horde sounds interesting, especially as decayed is another nice keyword for my purposes. I am also considering protecting my commander a little more, so some of your suggestions might come in. But i don't want to focus too much on "protecting spells", since i actually want most of creatures to go into the graveyard.

LightEntropy None of the cards you suggested are actually visible. I'm guessing they're supposed to be something like Commander's Sphere for the draw engine/mana rock, Exquisite Huntmaster for the Encore card, and the rest I can't get from context.

Dazard The card Diregraf Horde is a potential Lava Axe around the table when paired with a sacrifice outlet. If you cast the Horde, exile two cards from your graveyard, and sacrifice the Horde and its tokens (or just attack), each opponent loses five life. Then you bring it back and do it again. I would also suggest some instant-speed reanimator cards like Undying Evil, Undying Malice, Feign Death, or Supernatural Stamina, to go through all the 1-mana options.

Tainted Adversary works great and replaces the slot Diregraf Horde had perfectly. Both provide a 3/4 body with two decayed tokens as a turn 5 play but Tainted Adversary has death touch and the flexibility to play it on turn 2 if you already have turn a 5 play God-Eternal Bontu in your hand. Thanks zapyourtumor!

I’ll try out Tainted Adversary as it fits the curve the same way as Diregraf Horde. Thanks!

I think you could probably cut some number of the following:

Diregraf Horde, Falcon Abomination, Rotten Reunion, as they are the weaker cards in the deck.

From the new set, I like the following:

The Meathook Massacre, Tainted Adversary, Diregraf Horde, Eaten Alive, Rotten Reunion

From older sets, I like Woodland Cemetery (ISD art), Endless Ranks of the Dead, Zombie Apocalypse, Gravespawn Sovereign, and Thraximundar
