The Scarab God was probably the best Zombie Commander, but he has been put into the 99 to allow Varina, Lich Queen to power-mill yourself, and maybe even combo off for the win. This deck's goal is to show people that you can have the tribal flavor while still packing a competitive punch. Use your zombie army to protect your face while you assemble a zombo combo, or send the horde at your opponents faces with some swampwalking sweetness. Many of the combos and zombies are budget friendly too, you just need to substitute some of the more expensive tutors and lands for cheaper alternatives and this deck can be built on a fairly low budget. I can only hope that this deck list helps you bring the pain to your friends faces, and shows them that some tribes will not be laughed at!!

Included Combos

Infinite Mana

Diregraf Colossus + Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar (Any Color)

Infinite Damage

Ping Zombies (Wayward Servant/ Plague Belcher / Diregraf Captain)

You can also clear the board by using these cycles and Noxious Ghoul

There are a lot of fun interactions in this deck I am sure you will see many more so feel free to comment and suggest anything!!
