Modified Zombie Deck

[Baron Sengir]

So I'm trying to think up a new deck and I was thinking of trying to re-amp my zombie deck using some new stuff and make it not so annoying. When I ge the deck finalized I'll post something here. Any suggestions?

[Maraxus of Keld]

I'm so out of the loop on what's available anymore that I can't make much in the way of suggestions. If you're looking to make it not annoying, all I can suggest is not using Zombie Trailblazer, or at least not utilizing it to its full potential.

[Baron Sengir]

I definitely won't be using Trailblazer. Having Swampwalk is fine, but giving your opponents Swamps when they are using mono blue so that you have Swampwalk is just too much for me.

eh, its mean, but fun and effective.

Ok I put together what I am thinking of putting in the deck. Here is the list so far:

15 X Snow-covered swamps

4 X Unholy Grotto

4 X Gempalm Polluter

4 X Zombie Infestation

2 X Lord of the Undead

1 X Undead Warchief

4 X Dark Ritual

2 X Gravedigger

1 X Lake of the Dead

1 X Subterranean Hangar

4 X Gangrenous Zombies

4 X Call to the Grave

2 X Zombie Master

2 X Blanket of Night

2 X Contamination

4 X Shepherd of Rot

4 X Boneknitter

Basically the idea is to keep zombies out of my graveyard and in play. Plus with snow-covered swamps the gangrenous zombies do more damage when sacced. Using unholy grotto, gavedigger, zombie master, and lord of the undead, my creatures stay out of my graveyard, and cards like zombie infestation, contamination, dark ritual, and call to the grave help keep me with mana and creatures while reducing my opponents ammount of creatures.

[Baron Sengir]

The Boneknitters can easily be replaced by something else. I put those in as cheap creatures to get out right away. And it doesn't really use anything too new as it were, but oh well...

Also if anyone has any spare Zombie Infestations maybe we can work out a trade as they seem to be the expensive card of the set.

[Baron Sengir]

So it turns out the cheapest way to ge the cards I need is from Pastimes which REALLY surprises me. Usually moxdiamond.com or cardshark.com or some other online store has the stuff cheaper.

....weird

[Maraxus of Keld]

I think you might be better off using only 2 or 3 Unholy Grottos, and filling in the extra space with a couple more swamps. I can't see you using all of them in one turn, and just imagine what a pain it would be if that's the only land you draw in your starting hand.

Other than that, looks pretty good. Unless there's some 1 mana zombie out there, I'd suggest keeping at least a couple Boneknitters as well. A deck that can't put out a creature before the third turn leaves itself pretty vulnerable early on.

you should put an altar of dementia in there just to be a thingy

Yeah I'm still deciding if I want to spend $50 to modify a deck.
