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

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.

I'm missing a Rooftop Storm in here; maybe you think it's too OP :) Zombie Master is pretty cool; will catch other players featuring black off-guard and the regeneration ability on all your zombies makes them even harder to kill than they already were. Lich Lord of Unx's secondary ability can also be a pretty nasty mana sink to use.

Profet93 Most of the combos here are based around sacrificing Gravecrawler to Phyrexian Altar to generate {B}, then using that {B} to recast Gravecrawler from the graveyard to be sacrificed again. The third card in each of the combos provides the payoff through a "whenever a creature dies" trigger like Diregraf Captain, "whenever a creature enters" trigger like Wayward Servant, or counting the number of time a creature dies (in this case, as many as you want) with Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant or Rise of the Dread Marn.

The Ashnod's Altar + Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm combo provides infinite {C}. Similar to above, you sacrifice Crawler to Altar to create {C}{C}. Here, though, Rooftop Storm allows you to graveyard-cast Crawler for free, so you don't spend any resources to generate mana.

Goldberserkerdragon I've learned that very few times things are truly self-evident, and what's obvious to one person can be obscure to someone else. It's all a matter of experience.

Starting with mana, you only have 44 sources. I would recommend going around 47. Sapphire Medallion and Jet Medallion are a lot better than the monuments, although more expensive. You want to avoid 3 mana rocks like Dimir Locket and Commander's Sphere, you have better options in two mana ones. Add Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance and at least one land.

For interaction, you could add enchantment removal like Feed the Swarm. Bitter Triumph is new and may be better than Infernal Grasp here.

Since mill and discard can basically act as card draw, you can run cards like Mire Triton, Stitcher's Supplier, Undead Butler, Palantir of Orthanc, and Fact or Fiction, as well as sacrifice based card draw like Corrupted Conviction, Village Rites, and Deadly Dispute. There's also always all-stars Black Market Connections, Phyrexian Arena, and Rhystic Study if you want to go that direction.

Some card to protect your commander like Netherborn Altar, Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip, Zombie Master or Lightning Greaves / Swiftfoot Boots may be helpful if you rely on Gisa and it keeps getting removed.

There are certain cards I am not a fan of in this deck including Master of Death, Prized Amalgam, Scourge of Nel Toth, Tomebound Lich, Dead Revels, and Syphon Flesh.

Some other cards to consider include Cryptbreaker, Geralf, Visionary Stitcher, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Lord of the Undead, Noxious Ghoul, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, The Scarab God, Distant Melody, Buried Alive, Diabolic Intent, Liliana, Dreadhorde General. You could probably replace similar cards with these if they are better.

Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Sac Outlet is infinite. I don't think you run many sac outlets. You could add Acererak the Archlich to go infinite with just Rooftop Storm.

Demons has Liliana's Contract

Zombies has Rooftop Storm and Necroduality

Dragons has Dragon Tempest and Crucible of Fire

And blue and black give you choices to pick a tribe

I was thinking maybe zombies because they have so many great lords and silly things like Rooftop Storm. But I'm also wondering if maybe you just name slivers instead? Like slivers already have pretty much all the best lords I could possibly imagine. So what if things that aren't slivers were turned into slivers to gain those benefits?

I'd include things like Aurelia, the Warleader and Saskia the Unyielding along side other great attackers with unique effects. Pile the sliver effects on them.
