zelous666 thank you for checking out my deck list and giving a suggestion. So Rooftop Storm has been a card I love and have been wanting to put in a deck for a while. Unfortunately with how the deck is built I wasn't getting enough value off of it consistently to keep it in the deck. It also cost a lot of mana to cast and at that point I want to be drawing a ton of cards to hopefully close out the game. I really appreciate your suggestion and the comment.

Rooftop Storm?

Awesome mate! Me and my friend (which loves zombies too) seems to think Gisa and Geralf would be a better option just cause you get blue, and things like making them fly and you get Rooftop Storm, counterspells, more draw, etc. Lol, idk man our pod would eat that deck up to be fair. Bc it seems like a lack of removal/control in your pod. We got Yuriko, Hidetsugu & Kairi, flip Jin-Gitaxias, Krenko, K'rrk, Hofri (which is the most ressillent deck I've ever seen), Derevi, Ayara, Grand Arbiter, the Reality Chip, lol it's bad bro. But thats just a dude giving you crap/messin :P. I would argue that both our Konrads slap harder and kill faster. Nonetheless, I'm glad you have a newfound love for this deck and I'm glad you are clapping cheeks with it!

what about Cleaver Skaab and Necroduality. Super powerful, but not infintie. If you did want to go infinite, you could also look at Cloudstone Curio.

Also a fan of Liliana, Untouched By Death - particularly good where Zombuls are concerned, especially as can hit that -3 ability on playing it and giving access to your whole graveyard. Of course Rooftop Storm means you get to play them for free.

Balthor the Defiled is a fun reanimator, just be wary that your opponents dont get better value than you.

Good luck with your shambling horde

Elnxida on Cost Reduction Cards

I've noticed a few* omissions, namely effects that let you pay an alternate cost - which can be less than the regular cost (Zombie creaturess: Rooftop Storm) or reduced by other effects (Samurai: Kentaro, the Smiling Cat).

*Yeah, so I decided to do a proper search and it bloated into more than a "few"... Sorry for the wall of text, but here you go!

I'm having a hard time envisioning a zombie-tribal deck without Rooftop Storm. Granted, it doesn't fit the snow-theme, but it's just so incredibly strong in here. Necroduality could also be very nice in here.

I don’t see the game going long enough to ever get use from Exsanguinate, Rooftop Storm, and Hordewing Skaab - i would replace those cards with something costing much-less mana… Fatal Push would be a good replacement

kpres on Commander Deckbuilding Advice - A …

leon_bulminot, my 10% rule is "20% unless it interacts with the commander" and I end up including very few "win-more" cards because of that. Perhaps I should be more lenient? Take Anointed Procession for example: If I cast this card, it does nothing by itself. If my commander makes tokens (e.g. Kykar, Wind's Fury or my deck is making tokens, (e.g. Trostani, Selesnya's Voice, then it makes sense to include it.

For a while, I had been keeping Rooftop Storm in my Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant deck because it lets me cast my commander for free, and this combos infinitely with an Ashnod's Altar in play, making infinite zombies or wahtever. But, as I took the zombies out and replaced them with more non-zombie aristocrats, I decided to finally remove the card. Again, just not enough interaction with the rest of the deck. Win-more cards are deckbuilding traps, in my opinion.
