A Pestilence based budget pauper, with the goal to punish everything and\or everyone (myself self included). It's a race to the bottom with the end goal of ending up with slightly more life edging out the opponent(s) or forcing a tie by killing everyone if it can't nudge out that victory. It is designed with multiple opponents in mind not 1v1.

Ok so my group does 4+ pods and wanted to build a budget deck that affects the entire table, I started off with Pestilence and said yeah I want this "The Deck". The deck is mostly were I want it to be but I could use some suggestions.

My mindset on the current build is as follows assuming a four man pod:

Cards that punish the entire table; Main-Pestilence, Crypt Rats, Shepherd of Rot, (This one's a bit iffy, but in conjunction with Crypt Rats they almost guarantee a tie game)

Cards that punish just opponents and/or lifegain to offset life loss; Main-Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Servant of Tymaret (another iffy one, but fits the zombie theme and nets 3 life on an untap), Basilica Screecher (much needed flyer that alows for more punishment/lifegain), Vengeful Dead, Syphon Soul, Syphon Mind (I really like this card, each opponent discards 1 I draw 3)
