Deck Description

modern walking dead i noticed the deck online thought it looked fun in legacy and wondered if i could give it a shot in modern in testing it placed well against american control, jund, and artifacts. thought picker witch and mortar pod provide sac engines with recurring creatures, but arent much of a comparison for goblin bombardment but will work for now, blood artist is a good life gain source to balance out the lifeloss from cards like putrid leech and thoughtseize, most of the cards are recurrable and make faithless looting into a 1 drop draw 2 spell and work as card advantage, im having thoughts of using blood scrivener. thoughts so far, comments, likes, and suggestions are welcome. thanks guys

How to Play

this deck is a pretty successful graveyard abusing aggro deck that has some nostalgia of the standard zombies when they were popular but uses a greater card pool for it being modern the idea is pretty straight forward thoughtseize/inquisition provide disruption with lili, the zombies provide recursion with a sac outlet and blood artist, note you al.ways want to attack with the bodies you have before sacing them to one of your outlets with using discard and thoughtpicker witch you can control whats in their hand and what they'r going to have use this to your advantage while at the same time beating your opponent down i'll probobly adjust the sideboard with scavenging ooze once M14 comes out.

grave crawler isn't too helpful seeing as you only have 4 zombies in the deck

Consider running Ring of Xathrid or Undying Evil. Never underestimate a normally killable creature being unkillable.

Your very close to a standard deck mana base you may do well adding graven cairns, black cleave cliffs, another forest, marsh flats if you ever can.

Ill add more suggestions later, im on my cell right now.

Actually not sure graven cairns will help being you only need red for faithless.

However, abrupt decay is really nice to have.
Id replace motorpod for blasting station, you could even drop blood artist for stinkweed imp then. The dredge will help fuel your deck. Lotleth main could help gravecrawler, which in turn helps venegevine.

I might throw together a list later to work out numbers and list it here.

Alright: http://www.mtgvault.com/snakerunners/decks/the-walking-dead-20/

That is closer to what I think you should be running, I haven't 100% polished it as I have to run to class however I think this is a very good representation of the maindeck, I am of course also leaving sideboard to you though I could make some random suggestions, fun cards that may or may not work for the deck but what comes to mind in your colors. Kitchen Finks (life gain, persist), krosan grip (deal with issue enchants and artifacts), lightning bolt (who doesn't love 3 for 1), dregscape zombie, diregraf ghoul, and deathrite; the first two are zombies to help with the gravecrawler rez and deathrite is just a damn good creature in modern especially when your in his colors. Life from the loam, if you dredge up to many land or even just to help dredge along even more. Dark Confidant is good for card advantage better than blood scrivener cause he doesn't lose you life on land pick ups which happens a bit. There was another good one and it's killing me I can't remember what I was thinking... Varolz could be interesting...

Anyways best of luck

great idea! Im really not feeling Putrid Leach, or Thoughtpicker witch. I suggest Lotleth Troll, and Diregraf Ghoul.

Im pretty sure mortarpod just isnt worth it. What makes Goblin Bombardment so good is that you don't have to pay to activate it. I don't think the mana investment, as well as sacking a creature will be worth it.

If your dropping Mortarpod and Thoughtpicker Witch though, Blood Artist losses alot of his synergy. i would rather play Dark Confidant or Blood Scrivener

Well with the new sac outlet in m14, that is basically a not Quite as good version of goblin bombardment so i'm okayw with that \m/
