Good morning everyone! This is my Zombie-Tribal-Deck. I want to show you guys what I want to do with it and hope that you can give me some tips to improved it.

First of all: I play in a (more or less) casual meta.

The general idea: This deck wants to kill it´s opponents by hit them in the face. There is no trickery, just ordinary damage. All you do is imporve and secure your board until you get in the killing blow.

Win Con: Of course my wincon is everything that makes you better in grinding down the other players. In the most cases you win with the creatures that support your zombies (in the most times they support your tokens).

Death Baron : This dude is extremly effectiv. If I don´t have him in my hand and have the opportunity to Demonic Tutor something out of my deck, it will be him!!! He will make that no one wants to attack you (because deathtouch zombies are quite effective) and pumps up your zombies. Unfortunatelly he will be a prime target. So be prepared to secure him with counterspells for exampel.

Coat of Arms : I don´t think that I have to tell you much about this thing. Ten 10/10 Zombies speak for themeselves ... . The cout is also a good target for your tutor. ;)

Keyword Ability "givers": Everybody who gives your zombie(-tokens) any keywords will help you to smash your opponents. Aven Wind Guide , Gleaming Overseer , Lord of the Accursed or Vizier of the Scorpion will make your zombie-army more effective.

"Combos" that help you win the game:

Archfiend of Ifnir : This fellow will help you clearing the board(-s) of your opponent(-s). Check this: Everytime you attack with X zombies you have to loot X cards (when Varina is on the battlefield). That means everytime you attack the creatures of your enemys get a -1/-1 counter for every creature you are attacking with. Sweet.

Library of Leng : This helps you to get the things you need. You can discard on the top of your library instead of your graveyard. The best, you can do it in any order you like.

Shadow of the Grave : This transforms the loot effect from Varina to a draw effect. Drawing 6 cards (for exampel) for only 2 mana sounds realy good in my oppinion.

Lands: Yes I know, my land-base isn´t the best. I allready plan to improve it. I want to buy the fetchlands for exampel in the next order I want to do for this deck.

If you have any ideas to improve my deck, feel free to discuss them with me. :)

Addition: I found a City of Brass (Chronicles) at my local gamestore. I´ve added it, to make my mana base slightly better. :) I removed the Azorius Guildgate for it.
