Why? I don't have to block with him and I can use his ability to play my sorcery spells and instants over again...I can play re-animate spells twice!

I added Necropotence for faster drawing and Harmony of Nature ,Tendrils of Agony , Consume Spirit to help gain the life back that I use. I am not sure if it will work but suggestions would be nice. I added Spellbook so i don't have to discard. Maybe I am trying to do too much? I know Necropotence can be bad for me if i have to discard due to cards being exiled which is bad in a zombie based deck,Its a double edged sword.

So, when i look at this deck i see a deck with good potential but it has some issues and is missing a few key cards and i feel a lot of creatures just don't belong. I'll do my best to give some good advice.

The first thing i noticed is that most of your creatures are small. In EDH the games tend to last longer so people get out stronger creatures. In general your deck has even more potential to use bigger creatures do to the amount of recursion. I have a few creature suggestions:

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is strong, a zombie, and his ability works well in a recursion deck. My friend actually runs him as the general of his zombie deck. Vela the Night-Clad is also really good and will give all your creatures intimidate. I would also consider Wrexial, the Risen Deep because he is quite good. I noticed you don't have a Grave Titan in your deck, and that is seriously a staple for a zombie deck. Havengul Lich is a great zombie and recursion card. Mindleech Mass and Silent-Blade Oni are amazing for some raw power and both have that stealing effect. Corpse Connoisseur is good for helping recur a specific creature. Dread Slaver could be useful. Fleshbag Marauder is great, it is best not to underestimate it. Geth, Lord of the Vault = death. This one is such a double-edged sword but you might like it Graveborn Muse . I've never actually seen it used in a zombie deck, so it might hurt you too much. Helldozer is crazy. Lord of the Undead is a great zombie card. Phage the Untouchable because screw everything. Sutured Ghoul would be something to consider. Zombie Brute if you have lots of cards in your hand often (as you should). Sygg, River Cutthroat for more cards. And last but certainly not least: Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur .

I have quite a bit more to say, so i'm putting it in another comment. Please bear with me; i'm not trying to change you entire deck: I'm trying to give you as many options as i can so you can do what you like with it.

Now, you utter lack of artifacts basically brings tears to my eyes. Need mana? Sol Ring /Gilded Lotus . Need even more black mana? Caged Sun . Don't want to need as much mana? Urza's Incubator(the link wouldn't work for this one, please look it up, its amazing). Zombies not strong enough? Adaptive Automaton /Coat of Arms /Door of Destinies . Need more zombies? Riptide Replicator . Important creatures dieing to easily? Lightning Greaves Swiftfoot Boots Mask of Avacyn Whispersilk Cloak . And final, in the words of my friend; Crystal Ball wins games.

Now just a few more other cards. Phyrexian Arena is always a yes. Stitch Together would be good recursion for your deck. You like Attrition ? Try Mind Slash ! card:Praetor's Grasp is nice too. Now luckily i can think of no cards at this time... So now cards i don't like/or think really fit.

So i like the idea that you want to heal yourself, but Tendrils of Agony is not the way to go. I don't think Necropotence is worth it when you could have some of the other good draw cards i've mentioned. I disagree with Spellbook because i thought you wanted to discard. I do not like Western/Eastern Paladin. They are much to specific in what they kill and they aren't zombies. Actually i don't think any of your knights are worth it. They are kind weak and don't have the best abilities.I personally would rather have someone like Mindleech Mass . I also think you can do better than Coffin Queen . Thats all i can think of right now. My best advice for taking things out is simply replace cards with other cards with similar abilities that are better.

I Hope you don't think i'm trying to change your entire deck, i'm just trying to give as many good suggestions as i can. I hope this wall of text helps and you aren't annoyed by it (and if you are... you asked for it xP)

Thank your for taking the time to post. I disagree on some things but I agree on others. I will post later..... I just wanted to say thank you!

I do have a lot of small creatures, however I do have some big ones. Korlash, Heir to Blackblade , Vulturous Zombie , Soulless One have the potential to be great big creatures.

Butcher of Malakir , Sheoldred, Whispering One and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed might not be the biggest creatures but they have great abilities.

Also creatures like Diregraf Captain , Cemetery Reaper , Death Baron , Lord of the Undead and Balthor the Defiled all give +1/+1's and have some other great effects. Don't forget about Undead Warchief

Grave Titan isn't a staple. Sure he gives me a couple zombie but he himself isn't a zombie. So I couldnt recall him with zombie apoclypse.

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a great zombie, but I would have to have Gravecrawler in my deck to use him effectively and I don't have the room.

Silent-Blade Oni and Vela the Night-Clad are cards that I will consider and Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur is something I actually have been debating about recently. Geth, Lord of the Vault will be going in there somewhere.

I feel that I don't need much extra mana ramps that you mentioned. Most of my stuff is low costing.

Door of Destinies had been in the deck before, but it got target by artificat killer spells. So if I don't need to put artifacts I won't or I will put in as little as I can.

Mind Slash and Phyrexian Arena are fantastic suggestions!

Sorry, but Coffin Queen has won me games....not getting rid of her.

I think I will get rid of Necropotence and Spellbook as I need to discard to graveyard.

Tendrils of Agony is very useful because I can play a decent amount of spells with its storm ability and actually make an impact.

Stitch Together is a great suggestion.

Also the Western/Eastern Paladins are actually Zombies. If you go to the wizard search card engine they are zombies. Not sure why it wasn't printed on card. Same thing as for minions. It's weird. Also as long as a creature had white in it or green in it...regardless if multicaolored they are destroyed.

The reason I have Knight Zombies is so I can play them from graveyard due to Haakon, Stromgald Scourge ability.

I will have to look over my deck again and make some changes. Thank you for the input.

Just so everyone is clear Marauding Knight ,Eastern Paladin ,Western Paladin . Order of Yawgmoth , Sanguine Guard and Cadaverous Knight are in fact Zombies

What are your guys thoughts on Soul Foundry ?

I was also thinking of combo'ing Fleshbag Marauder for removals.... with Grave Pact , Unholy Grotto , Victimize , Soul Foundry (possibly), Endless Whispers , Mimic Vat and Lord of the Undead . I could use it constantly as removal. Any thoughts on this?

also adding in Rite of Replication for a Fleshbag Marauder combo. I just don't know what to take out for Soul Foundry

Made some big changes. Take a look and let me know what you think

Zifier,

I like the zombie deck and gave you a +1 as well, but I do have a few suggestions you can mull over.

Unbreathing Horde works wonders in a mass reanimation he gets big and is very difficult to kill.

Noxious Ghoul in a mass reanimation this card is a board sweep. When it hits the field with at least 4 other zombies (from a mass reanimation spell i.e. Zombie Apocalypse its going to destroy almost every other creature on the field.

Grave Defiler Not an absolute necessity but a good way to get zombies in hand.

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born this card is bad-ass and very versatile. When combined with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed you can eat all your creatures making Grim huge and all your creatures get a +1/+1. Combined with Gravepact it's a board sweep combined with Vengeful Dead you probably just won.

If you really want to be a jerk after you feed all your creatures to Grim sac Balthor the Defiled and do it again.combined with Gravecrawler Grim has an endless food supply.

Gravecrawler is cheap and keeps coming back great blocker on non-trample if nothing else.

Havengul Lich this is beastly combined with Rooftop Storm you can summon creatures from the grave for only one mana, combos great with Vengeful Dead .

Blood Artist although not a zombie it can be a great combo piece.

I seen that you had Rite of Replication so I thought you might like Cackling Counterpart .

Don't forget to check back on my Zombie deck I am still tweaking it! deck:self-milling-tribal-zombie-reanimation

Living Death should be in here, and Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a great sac outlet and is very good especially with creatures with ltb effects.

Living Death is already in the deck. I agree that Grimgrin, Corpse-Born should be in the deck and possibly even Gravecrawler , but I don't know what to take out.

Noxious Ghoul is a pretty good card about seems useful but again, I don't know what I would take out.

Okay, your deck is looking much better. You want to add Grimgrin, Corpse-Born . Looking through the deck, i'd pick something that simply isn't as good and replace it. I personally would take out Sanguine Guard . I think that is a pretty fair trade.

I also still think you should add an Urza's Incubator (the link still won't work, PLEASE look up this card if you don't know what it does), Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur , and Havengul Lich .

I also quite like Gravecrawler and Worldly Tutor might be something to consider as well.

Oops sorry Zifier! Didn't notice Living Death there. Gravecrawler + Noxious Ghoul + Phyrexian Altar /card:Ashnod's Altar is an infinite one-sided board wipe of you're into that kinda thing. There's also that same combo but with a different zomvie that makes a player lose 1 life or something, I think. It'd be a win combo of course

Oh you have it! Haha. Vengeful Dead

Oh you have it! Haha. Vengeful Dead

Oh you have it! Haha. Vengeful Dead

"Gravecrawler + Noxious Ghoul + Phyrexian Altar/Ashnod's Altar is an infinite one-sided board wipe of you're into that kinda thing"

Holly crap!!!! That's crazy!!! Thank you ameuser!

Amaterasu3531- ya I think I will take out Sanguine Guard.

took out 1x Swamp , Undead Gladiator , Sanguine Guard

put in Noxious Ghoul , Gravecrawler and Phyrexian Altar

2 questions.....is 36 lands enough for this deck? What should I take out for Grimgrin, Corpse-Born

So i haven't checked in for awhile, and i like the deck significantly better now. +1

I would like to point out you actually only have 35 lands that can tap for mana because of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . This may be okay considerring most of your cards cost less than 5. I mean, i run 34 lands in my Savra deck BUT i have mana ramp. I don't think adding 1 more land would hurt if you can.

I also still strongly believe you should add Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur since you are using Damia as your general, and run enough recursion you could get him out pretty easily. His draw ability will let you selectively add cards to your hand and to you graveyard, so you can save you good recursion and such (unlike using Jace, Memory Adept ). I also see you have Diabolic Intent in your maybeboard. This card is fantastic (and i think i need one in my savra deck). I think you need this card in here, because tutors are so versatile, especially if you can't afford a Vampiric Tutor . I also still like Stitch Together better than Exhume .

I'd say take out Carrion Feeder for Grimgrin, Corpse-Born . That would be a more than fair trade i think.

So lets see, possible cards to remove... Gravespawn Sovereign is good but i think tapping five zombies is a bit extensive. Glissa, the Traitor is a great card but she may be something to consider removing if you find something better or more necessary (especially since you can't make use of her other ability very well.) Hypnotic Specter seems a bit weak AND it isn't a zombie (i would replace it with basically any decent or better zombie). Rite of Replication just doesn't seem to fit in my oppinion. I guess 6 of any creature is good, but its kind of expensive and there really aren't any amazing targets for it (unless you intend to use it on you opponents creatures, which is awesome). And finally, I think Vela the Night-Clad > Silent-Blade Oni

Oh i forgot, whatever happened to Geth, Lord of the Vault and Havengul Lich ?
