Standard Zombs [help needed]

by purpleberry on 11 August 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Sorceries (9)

Instants (3)


Artifacts (3)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I'd like to make a standard deck that's affordable for now and can be improved should it get some wins. Black seems cheap enough, why not zombies? Yaaaay decisions! Through trading I have a feeling I can get the bought price down to roughly $20

I honestly took out endless ranks after some playtesting. It did absolutely nothing against competetive decks. If I have endless ranks and 4+ zombs out I was already winning, I needed draw, control, and fast creatures far more than a slow 4 drop for overrun decks in my countermeta aggro. It honestly goes quite against what this deck does to triumph over the current meta. That is:
* aggressive and dealing damage throughout the game, especially early. This mostly forces chump blockers to be used up while losing enough life that sometimes you have to make inoptimal plays
* creature removal. Three of the biggest standard archetypes right now are quite vulnerable to spot removal, and therefore also sport far more of it than they do boardwipe. This is spot resistant, and very strong at removing that delver/titan/pod creature.
Endless ranks sacrifices that speed (one of the two key facets, as shown in point 1) for a stronger lategame, at which point you lose anyways.

Really the only, only issue I see with this is the Titan he doesn't fit at all with just 20 lands he should never be cast able espically considering your next highest drop is a 4 drop and that's only a three of I add either murder or cemetery reaper ( to a 4 of)
Really solid deck check out my exalted standard blue white deck
