The Scarab God’s Zombie Mania. This is my zombie deck, also based off of Gisa and Gralf precon, but heavily modified. I recommend that you take out some of your non land cards that won’t add much to the game I.e. Fleshbag Marauder. You need to have around 40 lands. 39 won’t kill you, but 36 is way too little. With Gisa and geralf, you are going to mill lands. It is a fact. So you have to have lands to spare. Also, cards to check out: Rooftop Storm, Endless Ranks of the Dead, Liliana, the Last Hope, Fact or Fiction, Dark Ritual, and any of the zombies or other cards on my deck. If you want, I would 10000% recommend The Scarab God who is my commander. If you can, put a tutor or two in. I have Illicit Shipment as one of mine. And for goodness sakes put Murder back in. That’s all. Good luck!

The best way to make cuts is to look over the deck list and consider what serves a purpose (ramp / card draw / interaction) and what works with the theme of the deck and what doesn't. Create a list of cards that don't server a purpose or fit the theme of the deck and figure out what to cut / add.

If more cuts are needed look through the list starting at the highest converted mana cost and working towards the lowest. For each card ask yourself “does this card make a big enough impact for the amount of mana spent to cast it.”

Play the deck for awhile and periodically reevaluate what cards work in the deck and what cards don't.

Personally I would suggest cutting Avatar of Woe, Oona, Queen of the Fae, Extract from Darkness, Illicit Shipment, Notion Thief, Jaxis, the Troublemaker, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, Whispersilk Cloak, Maestros Ascendancy, and Spark Harvest.

Having taken a closer look at your deck I would suggest adding Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds for color fixing and extra triggers on Hedron Crab and Ruin Crab. Also Infernal Grasp, Profane Tutor, and Scheming Symmetry (mill what the opponent tutors).

Mill enables graveyard based decks. Having a few answers like Ashiok, Dream Render and Bojuka Bog is useful.

Pretty hyped for Determined Iteration for Feldon commander decks. Pretty excited for Illicit Shipment and Body Count as well.

Bootleggers' Stash is kind of stupid, though...

McToters I always appreciate comments as long as their respectful. That being said this deck doesn't have any real graveyard synergy just some recursion, it did in it's earliest form but i just bogged the deck down too much for too little advantage. The problem with Akroma's Memorial is that one there no way to protect it so it will just be blown up and two every player will be targeting you since now even a single minotaur is a huge threat, Eldrazi Monument is same thing to lesser extent it doesn't generate as much hate but it does gerenate a lot plus have to sac a creature in a non aristocrats or graveyard/recursion deck can work but you'll be losing more than you'll be gaining from the minotaurs higher CMC cost. Angel of Suffering is a debatable will playtest with her but chances are not very high, again little recursion and you can mill some of your best minotuars, but it can help thin your deck out for better draws a double edged sword for this deck but could work. As for Conspiracy i just don't think having three non tribal cards warrants using a slot for it. As for Magus of the Wheel and Wheel of Fate they are to be considered like Reforge the Soul for some hand reloading. For Illicit Shipment sure it can work really any tutor can just depends on your price range and willingness to $$$ on a piece of cardboard. Light Up the Stage is fun and will play around with it, Coat of Arms was considered but i felt like i didn't need it but Door of Destinies is too slow for my mid range aggro style for this deck

Amazing deck--man oh man have minotaurs come along way as a creature type over the years! Thoughts on utilizing Coat of Arms or Door of Destinies? There's also Akroma's Memorial, which is high CMC but great. Eldrazi Monument may help you if you are running into a problem with flying creatures. These are all things I suspect you may have thought of already.

Since Wheel of Fortune is expensive, Magus of the Wheel or Wheel of Fate could help you dump a nice chunk of cards in your graveyard if you're working with enough graveyard recursion.

Conspiracy could widen (or aid) your creature gamut since you currently have 4 non-minotaurs in your line-up. Then you could tutor for that to open up your creature choices.

There's a card in the New Capenna set that may be ballsy but could additionally work with unloading cards into your graveyard -- Angel of Suffering. Illicit Shipment could be a neat tutor for you too.

Truly--this is an AMAZING deck--so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. You know how this works better than I do and you very well may have thought of all these options yourself. Hope this is welcome feedback! Cheers

PS I'm a big fan of Faithless Looting but sometimes Light Up the Stage can be better and nets you two cards instead of breaking even.
