Assemble a Zombie hoard, then sack them for the win!

Step 1: Get a Zombie Armada. Easy enough, right?Ral Zarek + Basilisk Collar + Izzet Staticaster means that I can keep repeatedly tapping her for damage, potentially boardwiping the enemy repeatedly and keeping the board clear.

Meanwhile, grow your zombie hoard, damaging the enemy as you do so!

Step 2: Deal TONS OF DAMAGE. Alt text(Hue).

Purphoros, God of the Forge means that every time I get a zombie, either from my hand, Endless Ranks of the Dead, Grave Titan or Gravecrawler, I get to -2 the enemy player, which is pretty awesome.

Step 3: Do as the Goblins do: BURN EVERYTHING!

and here we have our good friend, Diregraf Captain Whenever another creature dies, the enemy takes -1 and you take +1. Neato, right?

Now picture this: You've thrown out a few zombie creatures, Endless Ranks of the Dead and the boardwipe combo have held in your favor. You have about 20 zombie tokens on the field.

tap Izzet Staticaster, declare "zombie token", and shake the enemy's hand.

Good game.

(*note that this -is- Modern, so you'll be facing stuff like infinite life combos from time to time. If this is the case, Grave Titan can be replaced with Master of Cruelties, and Clout of the Dominus can be axed for Aqueous Form for the purposes of countering the lifegain.)

Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The deck is now Casual! — June 19, 2014
Edit

I caved, and figured that since it's going to be in casual play anyway, I might as well make it better.

The additions of Nightscape Familiar and Curse of Shallow Graves should make it hit faster and harder than before.
