An Extreme Amount of Dead-ication
4 years ago
Sorry to butt in, but for a low-to-the-ground aggro zombies deck I would keep Diregraf Ghoul in. 1 mana for a 2/2 is a good rate, you want low cost creatures to flood the board with, and it gets pumped by the zombie lords so it's still fine later in the game. Here are some specific suggestions for upgrades once you get a budget for them:
Doomed Dissenter / Blood Scrivener --> Gravecrawler ( Dread Wanderer for budget)
Diabolic Tutor / Read the Bones --> Cryptbreaker (card advantage that gets buffed and makes more creatures)
Tattered Mummy --> Graveyard Marshal
Liliana's Elite / Khenra Eternal --> Relentless Dead (4 Khenras or Highborn Ghoul are fine too)
Some other cards you could look at are Diregraf Colossus , Undead Warchief , and Dark Salvation (it's probably worth playing Salvation in place of Murder ). Also, as a general tip, tribal creature decks don't play many non-creatures--around 6 at the most. Cutting some of those spells in favor of more lords would increase the efficiency and power of your deck.

Liliana Tribal Zombie/Demon
5 years ago
Dedicated zombie tribal could be cool, and it seems you're already headed in that direction, so I'd check for any specific zombie lords you're missing ( Lord of the Undead for example) if you want to pursue that direction for your deck.
As for specific adds and subtracts;
Subtracts; Killing Wave (people will just pay the life for what they want to keep, I'd replace this with
Torment of Hailfire
or
Exsanguinate
or an actual board wipe).
Bontu's Last Reckoning
almost makes you skip your entire next turn just so you can cast
Damnation
for one less mana. I'd recommend
Mutilate
over it if anything.
Cruel Edict
is bad,
Liliana's Triumph
and various other cards are much better for this effect, probably including
Innocent Blood
.
Liliana's Elite
is probably mediocre most of the time,
Liliana's Reaver
is just bad.
Graveyard Marshal
isn't actually great for zombies, there are lots of better ways to make zombie tokens if you want. I wouldn't recommend him.
Desecration Demon
will probably never be useful in EDH so I wouldn't recommend him, if your opponents really can't just handle taking the 6 damage to the face in the air then they'll definitely just have a creature to sacrifice to stop it. Its not a good card in EDH at all unfortunately. I think
Greed
or
Erebos, God of the Dead
>
Arguel's Blood Fast
Flip. Also, I wouldn't recommend some of your planeswalkers; i love liliana but some of those cards are downright useless in EDH (if you manage to do a single thing with
Liliana, Death Wielder
I'd be shocked).
Add; Dictate of Erebos ( Grave Pact with flash). Dark Prophecy , Midnight Reaper and various other similar effects to help you draw more (which I think your deck will want to do, and black has a million options for drawing cards, especially when things die). Definitely Corpse Augur and Graveborn Muse too. Toxic Deluge is also a better board wipe than most of your removal. I'd probably recommend Stitcher's Apprentice as well, to help you get some cards in your graveyard. I'll think of more if you want, there's such a wide variety of cards to use in black zombies.
Also, your deck has multiple tutors, but not really any obvious win conditions to look for. Can you tell me what you think you'll be tutoring for most of the time? I'd say Gray Merchant of Asphodel as its probably your strongest card, but you also don't have much reanimation to back it up a lot of the time.

Liliana's Mastery and Liliana, the Last Hope I know the planeswalker is over the price, but its pretty solid for a zombie deck. Disallow would be ebtter rather than Cancel. Metallic Mimic and Adaptive Automaton for any tribal situation. From Under the Floorboards is good if you have a way to cast it by madness cost. Graf Harvest is solid for making all your zombies have menace. Bontu's Monument to make some of your creatures cheaper, and maybe even Bontu the Glorified as a sac outlet for creatures like plague belcher. If you had Gavony Unhallowed it'll help with buffing it up. Liliana's Elite could potentially be big, with the creatures that are in your graveyard.

Alesha, Who Luls at Death v2.2

@Rikente, I wouldn't concern myself with adding zombies. My deck only runs Wayward Servant and Gravecrawler and everything works just fine. Wayward Servant's ability is too weak to be used for anything other than an infinite combo. Gravecrawler I wouldn't mess around with unless you're bent on abusing him with Skullclamp or Grave Pact.
If you must add more zombies for value I'd suggest Taurean Mauler, Fleshbag Marauder, Liliana's Elite, Scourge of Nel Toth, and Mirror Entity since those cards are good regardless of if they're in a zombie deck or not. If you want an easy way to recur your Wayward Servant then I suggest adding Volrath's Stronghold or Unholy Grotto as a budget alternative.

Looks great! I'm heavily considering overhauling my golgari deck into something that functions a little more like this. On a side note: have you considered Liliana's Elite? That could be a decent sized creature by turns 4-5.

Or even maybe a Liliana's Elite or Nantuko Husk for bigger creatures.

I do have Splinterfright in here already. However, as for Liliana's Elite, nice find.
Also, I just started re-updating this deck like 30 seconds before you commented (lol). I like having only creatures for this deck, it makes it a fun challenge.
