Forlorn Pseudamma

Creature — Zombie

Inspired — Whenever Forlorn Pseudamma becomes untapped, you may pay 2{B}. If you do, put a 2/2 black Zombie enchantment creature token onto the battlefield.

I would cut Conspiracy, since most of your creatures are zombies anyway and little tokens you create, you could just sacrifice asap with Ayara/Conrad on board.

Prismatic Geoscope - read rules on Gatherer.wizards.com - its 5 mana rock, that enters the battlefield tapped and can produce only one mana = useless in mono color deck. Better go with Sol Ring/Mana Geode/Arcane Signet are better options for that.

I use Tortured Existence+Desecrated Tomb in my For the Void deck and its just pure awesomeness. Every activasion of TD triggers Syr Conrad's ability twice (one creature coming out of you GY, another one coming in) and DT gives you 1/1 BLACK bat token with flying (which matters for Ayara). Its also insant speed activation, so you can use them to create flying blockers and a lot of tokens to sacrifice. Add in Phyrexian Altar and you can go infinite with either Ayara or Syr Konrad.

Sanguine Bond - With weak life gain in this deck, I wouldnt bother with this. I would replace it with more ramp - Caged Sun/Black Market or Songs of the Damned (which would work even better with Buried Alive), etc.; Village Rites would be very nice card draw (of course Phyrexian Arena, Necropotence is a big thing too).
Liliana of the Dark Realms could be also pretty nice for ramp.
You can always keep Sanguine Bond and throw in more life gain stuff life Whip of Erebos/Dread Presence/Ivory Tower/Venser's Journal or graveyard hate cards like Crypt Incursion/Suffer the Past.


Woe Strider could be used as instant sac outlet for your Ayara, with a 0/1 WHITE token and scry 1 as a nice bonus.

Cabal Coffers,Lake of the Dead,Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - also very good lands for mono black decks, just not for low budget decks. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth - probably not worth it if you dont run that many non-swamp lands.

Cards I would cut off:

Forlorn Pseudamma - 4 cmc 2/1, that needs to be tapped and pay additional just to make 2/2 zombie seems not very good.
Piper of the Swarm - they only thing making rats is Piper and Plague of Vermin (which is ok though). Piper works much better in Ayara rat decks. In this almost zombie tribal deck, Piper just doesnt really fit.
Syphon Flesh - Very independent on your opponent's board state and number of opponents.. So its kinda 50/50.
Conspiracy - Unless you're going to do some shenanigans with making non-zombie creatures and tokens into zombies (I counted 10 things in total that are either non-zombie creatures or make non-zombie tokens), I really wouldnt waste a card space with it, unless you can do some absurd amount of tokens.
Prismatic Geoscope - as I already said above.

Consider running Forlorn Pseudamma

This could replace Daxos the Returned which is a nonbo with Solemnity

Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest is the best Vulturous Zombie for a deck like this.

On the lower end of the curve Abyssal Gatekeeper makes them sac two creatures when you sac it.

Whip of Erebos as a way to recur your creatures for another sac effect. Speaking of Erebos... Dictate of Erebos is a Grave Pact that is a little easier on colors and has flash.

There are a few inspired cards that make enchantment creatures for you to abuse as well. Forlorn Pseudamma has some evasion which might make it easier to tap. I personally love Felhide Spiritbinder because... well, I once copied a Blightsteel Colossus ... so maybe I have a bias.

I like your method of making clues to sac for card, or sometimes to clear the board of pesty artifacts. If you find you need more card draw look into Viridian Revel , there are always artifacts around.

You seem to be building a swarm style deck. Look into some swarm pump effects Beastmaster Ascension comes to mind.

I've always wanted to make some simple 40-card beginner decks to teach people how to play, and with the combination of me moving to a new school district and my girlfriend saying she is willing to learn, I have finally built them. I would like your opinions on them, and if they seem easy enough for a newer player to understand. (As a note, I tried to include a wide cast of keywords to emphasize the diversity of the game.)

Each deck has 17 lands and one rare, which the deck is themed around

If you had Training Grounds w/ Forlorn Pseudamma then you'd actually be paying 1 swamp for each 2/2 zombie token.

I see what you mean, but I personally think Dark Prophecy kind of holds a good spot for keeping me in gas as I use my sac engine. Also, Forlorn Pseudamma is a bit of a hard sell as a token spawner with 3 mana per 2/2 token.

I still appreciate the suggestion, and while I have you, I have an idea I'd like to ask your opinion for. What do you think of replacing Grim Haruspex and/or Dark Prophecy with something in Red/Blue that generates cannon fodder for Tymmaret?

Forlorn Pseudamma might help with more 2/2 zombies...
