Eat brain?

Yes, there are better Aristocrat-like cards like Syr Konrad, the Grim, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Ayara, First of Locthwain, but I wanted to keep the creature list as zombified as possible (I would add Meathook Massacre if I had one). The only three non-zombie creatures in the deck are just too good to pass up.

Gisa and Geralf: Obviously great reanimation for zombies.

Poppet Stitcher  : Wilhelt's partner in crime. Zombie tokens immediately replace themselves and go infinite with a sac outlet.

Death Tyrant: Haven't actually seen any other deck with it in the list. It makes sense to me. It can reanimate itself like any good skeleton, but the big synergy here is that when you sacrifice your decayed zombie after swinging with it (or if it's blocked and killed), it's still considered an attacking creature at the end of combat and the Death Tyrant replaces it with a fresh zombie without that annoying decayed keyword. Also bonus zombies for killing your opponent's blockers.
