Combo Changes. —Sept. 23, 2021

I've removed Havengul Lich + Ashnod's Altar combo and replaced it with Acererak the Archlich. Acererak is one Zombie with Rooftop Storm to combo instead of two cards. Ashnod's price keeps going up and being an artifact is problematic since I don't have a way to recur an artifact, but I have many ways to recur or reanimate Zombies. Hall of Heliod's Generosity is here to be able to recur Rooftop as well as a few other support enchantments such as Animate Dead. It's also helpful to be able to tutor for Rooftop with Vile Entomber or Unmarked Grave to get it into my graveyard and then recur it with Hall.

Hordewing Skaab from the Undead Unleashed precon has replaced Havengul Lich as another five drop Zombie for it's flying evasion for all Zombies I control. Relying only on Wonder to give all my Zombies flying can be problematic and I like that I can reanimate Hordewing.

I've kept the Liliana, Untouched By Death + Shambling Ghast combo since it doesn't need Gravecrawler or Rooftop Storm. Having a combo that doesn't need either of these cards is helpful because these along with Acererak the Archlich are the main cards my opponents will try to exile.
