Deck Description

I thought of this deck playing DOTP14. This became my strategy also in sealed play. I got more cards that can produce zombie tokens and made the deck better. Here is the result.

How to Play

So the main idea of this deck is to get as many 2/2 Zombie tokens onto the battlefield. Your main sources of doing this are Vile Rebirth, Grave Titan, and Liliana's Reaver. You'll want to get as many tokens onto the battlefield as possible, so that you have enough to attack, and even if your opponent blocks they won't have enough creatures to block enough damage in order to kill them.

Deck discussion for Black - Token Overwhelm

My main standard deck operates similarly but it's green and white. Zombie decks are always a pain to play against and that's because they work so well.

I like the idea but I think this is just way to slow for comp modern. Quag Sickness should be replaced with Hero's Downfall. Deathcloud is horrible dealing that much to yourself it should be replaced with Thoughtsieze. Mind Sludge is fun for a 1 of but the other three will be better as Duress. Nykthos shrine works better as a 2 of since drawing multiple legendary lands sucks, more swamps would be better or a few Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. And Squelching Leeches isn't really doing anything to do with discarding or zombies and isn't really that strong, maybe consider Endless Ranks of the Dead instead or Phyrexian Obliterator for a crazy 4 drop creature if you want a good creature.

If I come off a bit harsh I apologize it's simply my opinion and should be taken as such.

Duress should be Inquisition of Kozilek...
Demon's horn is also just terrible.
Not to mention 20 lands with that curve is... should be 23-24...

+3 Swamp

I agree completely. Yet I still think Endless Ranks of the Dead needs a spot maybe put Ritual of the Returned to a 2 of.

I'm not a huge fan of endless ranks as it does nothing unless you have a board pressence,
I would say 2x Lily of the veil.
Situational cards is what i try to avoid:P

I agree that it is situational and have actually had an argument about it not being good in a deck on here for that matter.(LOL) However if it's "situation" didn't occur during play with this deck something went horribly wrong and I would be extremely surprised .
As well I will add that there isn't a single deck to my knowledge which plays black that wouldn't benefit from the mighty queen of Darkness Liliana of the Veil!

I mean its more of a "win more" card. where if you have even zombies in play to make it work you are probably already winning that game...
:P I mean shes not far off Jace tMS's power level in the decks she is played in.
But she gets wayy better when paired with waste not.
