Deck Description

I am planning to take this deck into a standard tournament soon. Tell me what you all think of it.

The zombies are in here for a quick and early threat.

The main and obvious idea is to get the Obliterator going, and preferably with a Lashwrithe. Metamorph can copy anything... and for that matter, a second Obliterator.

Mortarpod and Gravecrawler will be my endless source of damage (provided I have the mana). Geralf's Messenger also is amazing with this becuase of his ability to return and do a free 2 damage.

Fume Spitter combos great with Tragic Slip. Early-game flying defense is Vault Skirge (as my favorite 1-drop). Take a gander at how I did it and take from it what you will, keeping in mind that my methods are different but we share the same goal.

What would you take out to add Fume Spitters?

Actually... what would you rather use? Spitter or Skirge?

I personally like this deck composition. Nothing costs a very high amount, which allows for this deck to perform at near top performance in a game where you draw little mana. The only thing I don't understand is Black Sun's Zenith's use in this deck.

I had the idea for it to clean 1/1s and 2/2 tokens. Sure, it will hurt my obliterator... but only a bit. Because my Obliterator with the Lash.... try and stop that! You know?

Mainly the idea is, I have nothing to stop mass token armies... and those teams have no problem to sacrifice a few tokens to kill my Obliterator. Black Suns Zenith rids this problem.
