Gravecrawler

Creature — Zombie

This can't block.

You may cast this spell from your graveyard as long as you control a Zombie.

I think there may be a few issues with the combos you are proposing.

Blood Artist + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar does not combo as Gravecrawler requires you to control a zombie to be cast from the graveyard and Blood Artist is a vampire.

Nantuko Husk/Phyrexian Ghoul/Carrion Feeder + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar also does not combo. In this instance you can continually sac and re-cast Gravecrawler but this will not trigger the abilities of Nantuko Husk/Phyrexian Ghoul/Carrion Feeder (they require their own sacrifice).

The Sibsig Ceremony: Because Gravecrawler wasn't already broken enough...

Bastion of Remembrance can provide some life drain, and The Meathook Massacre could swing a match in the late game if you don't mind busting the budget.

Without knowing exactly what cardpool is at your disposal, any suggestions you get may not be very helpful. That said, there are essentially two paths for mono zombies; combo and ‘overwhelm the board’ strategies. Things like recursive Gravecrawler loops with appropriate damage or token triggers would fall under the combo heading, but it doesn’t look like you have the right pieces here.

If you’re going with an aggro approach, I’d double down on cheap, recastable zombies like Gravecrawler and Relentless Dead (if you have any) and then find other cards that buff them (like Death Baron). That way you can assemble an army for cheap, increase their stats, and continue fighting from the grave after they kick the bucket.

Also, add a few more lands. 19 is on the low end. Don’t be afraid to get rid of ineffective cards like Diregraf Ghoul (it enters tapped and is fairly useless) so that you can double down on running multiples of your better cards. Hope this helps.

Goldberserkerdragon that specific example:

I go first.

t1: Swamp + Gravecrawler

t2: Swamp, Stitcher's Supplier, Sol Ring

t3: Swamp, Bontu's Monument + Dark Ritual + Warren Soultrader

No one actually got a t4, and I was the only one that got a t3. Turn 1 was mostly mana rocks or playing value tap lands, like the Surveil lands. Turn 2 was people mostly playing their ramp. The blue guy in the pod did hold up counter magic but funnily used it to stop the guy that played right after him to squash his Mana Vault. So, I shot my shot and no one had an answer. Like I said, people don't really see tribal zombies and think, "Oh, I should hold up interaction so they don't win on t3 or t4." That's part of the benefit :)

The pod was me, Urza, Lord High Artificerfoil, Sigarda, Font of Blessings and Godo, Bandit Warlord.

Goldberserkerdragon Personally, Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver gets my money, if we're going Dimir. But, I wanted mono black. Counters and removal are fine, but like.. are you going to counter my Gravecrawler rather than something bigger or flashier? Also, the whole gimmick of the commander is to just replay the stuff from the graveyard. I could see Krenko being an issue for a deck like this, simply because it can likely keep pace. I think we're probably online before something like Grand Arbiter Augustin IV unless we're aggressively mulliganing to play him out t1 (my cEDH love was Grand Arbiter a few years ago when I was sweatier about the game).

Part of the strength of the deck is no one thinks mono black zombies are going to kill the table on t4. Ya know? Lol. The hardest thing I've found to deal with so far is Leyline of the Void and Rest in Peace style effects. It's difficult to get around replacement effects and, unfortunately, mono black's biggest weakness is targeted enchantment removal.

But yeah, it's been a blast so far!!

If you're interested in some combos, I think you might like Gravecrawler, this is very easy to go infinite with Warren Soultrader or Phyrexian Altar, but it also works with Pitiless Plunderer, then you just need anything that cares about casting creatures (Bontu's Monument, Aetherflux Reservoir), creatures ETBing, or creatures dying, and you've got a fair bit that meets those requirements. If you've got Mikaeus you'd also end up with infinite mana since you'll only need to reanimate it every other time. It also works with your Yawgmoth, and any other sac outlets you might have. When I checked you've got 3 Zombies atm, but I don't think I use all that many in the deck I use Gravecrawler as a combo piece in, you'd mostly want either Mikaeus or Warren out with it. Maybe you'd need a few more to really make it shine?

Since you've got some big mana stuff, maybe good old Razaketh, the Foulblooded? If you can resolve him you should just win on the spot, and he plays very well with stuff like your Kormus Bell, Cabal Coffers, and any Rituals (like Dark Ritual). I just love using him in my Golgari deck, 8 mana is steep but I usually reanimate him somehow.

I feel like your deck is very good at making the opponents' creatures dead, yes? Maybe Revel in Riches to just win off of 1 card and what you're doing anyways?

This deck looks like a lot of fun!

I appreciate it I will probably pull Gravecrawler for that

multimedia Thornbite Staff is the most powerful combo piece in the deck, Ghoulcaller Gisa requires tapping and sacing a creature as a cost, after which the staff will untap her. This lets you dump all your mana into her to make zombies, also it goes infinite when combined with cards like Pitiless Plunderer or Gravecrawler + Bontu's Monument. Now Warren Soultrader while not infinite with this combo by it self, it is still good value.
