Do you like Zombies? Do you like abusing the graveyard? Do you like to deal huge amounts of damage to your opponents and commanding hordes of creatures? if so, this is the deck for you. In true Mad scientist fashion, Gisa and Geralf will let you stock up your graveyard and bring back zombies from it. this is a very potent effect, especially because zombies have arguably the best tribal support in all of magic. also, Gravecrawler is a zombie, and if there is a single critter that begs for jank more than our legless friend here, no there isn't. primarily, Phyrexian Altar lets you get a limitless amount of ETB, enter the graveyard, cast, and death triggers off of the little bastard, which is wonderful for such marvelous cards as Plague Belcher, Diregraf Captain, Secrets of the Dead Kindred Discovery, Undead Augur, and Noxious Ghoul.

But wait, theres more! Dredge is a wonderful mechanic, you get it on Stinkweed Imp and such, but unless you can discard your dredgers, you'll end up spending mana on them, and even then, they're not guaranteed to go to the graveyard. no, discarding dredgers is far more usefull. Enter Rotting Regisaur, an insanely efficient creature that comes at the "cost" of needing to discard every upkeep, which is not even a downside with dredgers and zombies in hand. Zombie Infestation Makes for a powerful way to turn a flooded hand into a board full of cratures, and is cheap enough to be worthwhile even if all you do with it is discard lands and dredgers. The Skaabs are my favorite discard outlets, however. So long as you can get Stitchwing Skaab, Advanced Stitchwing, and Geralf's Masterpiece to the graveyard in the first place, they then become very efficient and evasive creatures that never go away.

Lords are an integral part of any good tribal deck, and lords do zombies most certainly have. Diregraf Captain has been mentioned already, Death Baron can make it extremely difficult for opponents to swing at you, and Lord of the Accursed makes it even harder to block you. Zombie Master gives some pretty intense staying power and good evasion against opponents with swamps. Finally, Undead Warchief has to be one of the best lords of any tribe, because it not only makes itself and other zombies much bigger, it also makes zombies cost less, as if they were expensive to begin with.

Sac outlets are great, and downright necessary if you're going to use Undead Augur and Graveborn Muse, as they can kill your in a big hurry. Phyrexian Altar and Altar of Dementia let you kill as many of your creatures as you want for huge impacts. Fleshbag Marauder is a great way to "recycle" one of your creatures to kill some of your opponent's threats, and Scourge of Nel Toth lets you trade two creatures to cast a 6/6 flier from your graveyard. Without a doubt the most versatile of the sac outlets, though, is Corpse Harvester, who will fetch you swamps and zombies for as long as you can give him the fuel for it.
