W/B Zombies variety deck. This deck is so fun! The backbone of zombie production is Diregraf Colossus + Gravecrawler. Cryptbreaker also enables all sorts of shenanigans. Lord of the Accursed adds damage and optional Menace for everyone, while Death Baron is just amazing. Lord of the Undead is another great lord that adds extra recursion to the deck, for a total of 5 lords, though I might add more (Undead Warchief is a possibility). This deck pretty much relies on getting an overwhelming number of zombies onto the battlefield, usually triggering Wayward Servants, or Diregraf Colossus. Mana costs are low, so only 1/3rd lands. The variety of other cards are fun to play. Tidehollow Sculler is not meant to be a permanent removal spell, but instead is meant to give me information on my opponent's hand & an advantage in tempo by triggering all of the ETB-triggers, before becomeing a lightning-rod to save my all-important Cryptbreaker from spot removal.. ideally, Tidehollow Sculler will drain some life while putting more tokens down (in Magical Christmas Land, if I have just 2 Wayward Servants & 2 Diregraf Colossus in play, his ETB would drain 6 life plus create two additional 2/2 Zombies, so even if he dies to removal as soon as my opponent gets priority, the info from seeing their hand and the shift in tempo were worth casting him, especially since he soaked up a removal spell on top of it all). Fatal Push & Path to Exile are for removal, while Dark Salvation is very flexible as both cheap removal and as a token generator/ETB-trigger-enabler. While this deck does not really use Poison as a win-condition, Phyrexian Crusader is an Infect all-star, especially when buffed with lords/deathtouch, & has single-handedly won games for me. Wayward Servant looks meh on the surface, but he is soooo good here, especially in multiples. Very fun deck! Throne of the God-Pharaoh has won me quite a few grindy matchups when combined with Cryptbreaker's abilities, and Cryptbreaker helps me discard for a zombie, and Gravecrawler/Dread Wanderer can both be played from the graveyard. Gravecrawler cast from graveyard triggers Diregraf Colossus' 2nd ability & is cheaper and more reliable in the graveyard than Dread Wanderer, but Dread Wanderer can be returned during an opponent's end of turn, or on my own turn if I have
Throne of the God-Pharoah
in play- plus, he enables Gravecrawler to be cast from the graveyard in response to a board wipe. Plague Belcher can make board wipes expensive for my opponent. At the moment, I only have one Cavern of Souls, and it is in my Sliver deck, so I have to change sleeves/decks if I want to use it in this one. $50 each is quite a bit for a "budget" deck with no fetchlands, but it is very very good for any tribal deck. I love playing Zombies!! So much fun, even with all the detrimental graveyard hate.. definitely a little slow for meta, but very fun to play, and is decent for casual play.
