No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

That's right, those scary dudes from down under (not Australians, ya dingo!) are back with a vengeance! This is a pretty straight-forward zombie build, featuring graveyard tricksters like Gravecrawler and Geralf's Messenger, evasive fatties Highborn Ghoul and Stromgald Crusader, and beefers Cemetery Reaper and Death Baron. Then Dark Ritual to get some of those 3-drops bringing the hurt by turn 1, a couple spot-killing cards in Tragic Slip and Go for the Throat, a bit of card draw with Sign in Blood, a smidge of wrath in Mutilate, and a single Unholy Grotto for late-game recursion. The deck works well and offers plenty of variety! Let me know what you think; comments and suggestions are welcome as always!

Deck discussion for z...Z...ZOMBIES?!

I like it, Zombies are so fun. My suggestion would be to add Door of Destinies. It works best in Zombie decks with Gravecrawler. (since you Cast him from the grave.

I like Door of Destinies, don't get me wrong, but I personally would probably only put that card in either a tribal-based EDH deck or maybe an elf deck. It works great for tribal but, as you can probably tell, when it comes to 60's I like to keep them very fast and that card doesn't really lend to that strategy well enough to merit its inclusion here, in my opinion. I picked Mutilate, for crying out loud, over better wraths because a) I had them but b) besides breaking the bank to buy two Damnations, it was the lowest-costing wrath I came across. That's just how I prefer to build my 60's, fast with low CMC bell curves.

All fine suggestions for a zombie deck and all cards I took into account, but the problem with Zombie Master is that he isn't a friggin zombie, man! Although the tastiness of Urborg and him is tempting, I think it might be more consistent this way. However, since I haven't tried it yet, I'll playtest a decklist with those cards in it and see if I like it enough to maybe give it a go down the road. I love Cabal Coffers too but it really isn't conducive to an aggro build like this. Thank you for the suggestions!
