All will likely be included, but what are our thoughts on zombie commanders in Black?

Ghoulcaller Gisa

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet

Liliana, Heretical Healer  Flip

Gisa is meh, she’s cool but doesn’t do anything but make zombies. She makes a whole lot, but that’s all she does.

Kalitas is similar, but can prevent infinite combos that involve sacrificing creatures.

Liliana seems the most exciting to me, but still just meh because she doesn’t do a whole lot.

Well, now that I actually think about it I guess for a mono black zombie deck, there’s not a lot to be doing except pumping out zombies. Kalitas would be my pick.

If you're wanting to make zombie combo (given your other thread) then Sidisi, Undead Vizier works nicely as you effectively have a Demonic Tutor for combo pieces in the command zone. And let's face it, there's no lack of other zombie producing cards.

TypicalTimmy: Braids, Cabal Minion is banned in EDH and for good reason.

Sidisi, Undead Vizier is likely the strongest and should be strongly considered before looking at anything else, but Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is a real strong graveyard hate piece to have in many metas and would be my second choice.

My first edh deck was a mono-black Balthor the Defiled zombie tribal deck. He's really fun with board wipes and such.
