Oh--and you might want to increase the number of zombie creatures you have to feed Endless Ranks of the Dead . As it stands now, you only have six. Vesper Ghoul would be good in here since it's a tri-color deck. Blood Scrivener is probably my favorite card at the moment.

nosoyyucateco Vesper Ghoul is in, no questions asked. Although I would point out that the -enemy- feeds Endless Ranks of the Dead , as the tokens created with Unscythe count as zombies :P
I'm sorta relying on Zombie-Communism, here. Zombunism. Or is that Socialism? Zocialism?

Yeah, I know it seems cruel, but I have played with Endless Ranks of the Dead a lot, and you'd be surprised how easy it is for it to be worthless. I know your Unscythe is going to help, but still, you aren't going to get many zombie tokens with this the way it is.
They do stack, so if you can get 2 Endless Ranks of the Dead into play at a time, you'll double your zombies each turn. So maybe the answer is just running another one? Still, Vesper Ghoul would really help out here, in more ways than one.
As for what to take out... maybe Cyclonic Rift ? It's an awesome card, I know, but it's probably the odd man out as far as your deck strategy goes. And again--I swear by this--20 lands in a deck like this. I don't care what the TappedOut community says about this. Especially since you can tap Vesper Ghoul for mana.

I have no idea how to make this deck better or more competitive but +1 for such an interesting and convoluted win-con. What a crazy back door win. No one would see it coming.

You might want to rethink the name change, because there is a type of deck called a Reanimator deck, and this is not one, and you know how the TappedOut commentariat can be. I wasted 5 minutes this morning reading an argument about whether a Junk deck had a right to be called Jund because it "feels like a Jund deck". Also, you should make a reanimator deck because they are fun.

Oh, thanks for the heads up, man! I had no idea that Reanimator was an actual thing xD
What's a Reanimator deck like? I assume B/Zombie/Graveyard Shift?

@KSULongneck: Thanks for the +1! I haven't actually playtested this deck yet: I have 0 clue if it's competitively effective. If it is, though... easily my favorite deck that I've made. (I doubt it will be. It's too pin reliant)

Reanimate is the card that it's built around. It involves having lots of huge creatures, means of discarding them (including not playing a land on your first turn so you have 8 cards in your hand and must therefore discard), then paying life to put them on the battlefield. My Mallwalkers deck uses Reanimate .

For example, Putrid Imp + Reanimate + It That Betrays = Artisan of Kozilek played on turn 2.

Dammit, I meant Putrid Imp + Reanimate + Artisan of Kozilek = Artisan of Kozilek played on turn 2

I gotcha xD
That's... pretty awesome. I'll have to check out Mallwalkers.
NoSoyYucateco says... #1
Hahaha. This is awesome.
Not that it's necessary, but Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and Rooftop Storm would go well in this. They have a pretty sweet infinite combo with Gravecrawler and Diregraf Captain .
Also, you have Dragonskull Summit in here, and only 4 swamps, so it's going to be entering tapped more often than not. It might be better to run 4 Drowned Catacomb and replace your swamps with mountains.
This would be a mean deck to go up against.
