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'm trying to cut this deck as close to 60 cards as possible, but I just can't figure out what to get rid of. Please leave suggestions about what to remove/add.

Thanks!

P.S. Disregard sideboard. It's there just so I can keep track of what I've removed.

All of what im about to say is my opinion, and if you wish to disagree i won't hold it against you, but this is my sincere attempt at improving this deck, so please read over what I have to say.

Your deck is missing three key zombies

Death Baron
Zombie Warchief
Soulless One

also adding a

Adaptive automaton

could also work. the idea behind any tribal deck is that by playing many of the same kind of creature they synergise and become stronger, therefore you should focus on adding zombies that buff other zombies or rely on zombies in some other way, while backing this with alot of small zombies that will soak up these synergies in the later part of a game and serve as defence in the early game.

As such, limit yourself to 10 utility spells (such as your army of the damned and victim of the night) and use 20 land, giving yourself 30 slots to fill completely with zombies.

With this in mind, keep an eye on the 'Mana Curve' stat of your deck, try to keep around 50% of your deck in the 1-2 mana area, with the next largest part being in the 3 mana section. this will improve your deck's drawing consistency and ensure your playing something every turn.

Thanks for the advice. Never even realized that automaton was a card.
