Cool deck! If you were to not cut out one of the 20 posted above, then I would 100% leave Acererak the Archlich in. It will infinitely venture into all dungeons with Rooftop Storm. Even if you don't want to combo win with two cards, it's a good option to have. Games have to end at some point lol

Thanks for the suggestion brianizbrewtal and the +1! I had it in there but another Wilhelt player won by going winfinite on that same combo during a different game. Our whole table went from a bunch of solid board states and a really good game to “okay that was lame”… and then we all kept playing for second place. I took it out the next day. I know it’s powerful but I have more fun dropping Gary with a rite of rep or something nasty like it.

That's completely fair! Yeah I guess when it starts to get good then one can two card combo win, it can be kinda lame. Good point. Make'em cry with Gary next time!

Great looking deck. Personally I would add more zombie creatures. Let me know how Necrotic Hex works out.

Mark3sie. I know what you mean! I’m up to three zombie decks now because I have so many creatures that I like to play. I’m trying to get them to different themes/wincons so The don feel like the same deck with different sleeves. Necrotic Hex hasn’t seen any action on mine yet but my buddy played it to good effect a few weeks ago.

Just another card you might be interested in adding, Gravespawn Sovereign. With all the zombie hordes you'll have going it can be a nasty way to snatch things from your opponents graveyard (or just reanimate your own).

Oh almost forgot, but an Intruder Alarm + your Ghoulcaller Gisa would allow you to make a legion of tokens.
