Zombie Control?

Main Deck (63 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

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

Another work in progress deck. Went for an overall zombie theme. Attempting to learn how to effectively play blue/control decks.

How to Play

I'm attempting to use cards that allow me to go into my graveyard and return creatures to the battlefield. Also overwhelming with tokens. But this is still a WIP

Deck discussion for Zombie Control?

I would add diregraf collusos. I have him in my zombie deck and he is critical

Whoa, that's a good card! Sounds like it'd be an awesome one to have. Thanks for the advice!

Rise from the Tides might be a good addition as the deck currently runs nice amount of instants and sorceries. For zombie tokens also From Under the Floorboards would look nice in that deck.

I'm wondering if Graf Harvest is actually good in this deck. The first ability is good of course, but is the second going to see much of use as you intend to play creatures back to hand or battlefield from your graveyard and Graf Harvests seconda ability exiles creatures from your graveyard. Graf Harvest's second ability is also "lost" with Liliana's Elite and Sutured Ghoul.

Also might be reasonable to modify deck so, that there is smaller number of different cards. Grim Guardian for example is not so good in this deck - Requires either enchantment heavy deck or full playset of Grim Guardians to start shining.

Advanced Stitchwing might be reasonable to combo with some Madness cards such as Brain Gorgers, Call to Netherworld, Dark Withering, From Under the Floorboards and Gisa's Bidding. If you discard any card that has madness, you can play that card as an instant with it's madness mana cost - even sorceries and creatures, you only need to get that card discarded first.

But I do like the theme you have there...lots and lots of zombies dropping their limbs all over the place :)

Thanks for the advice! Good point about Graf Harvest; I think I mostly looked at the first ability and didn't fully read the second part. Maybe I will reduce or get rid of it altogether. I was looking at Rise from the Tides and From Under the Floorboards and I probably will buy them. I just don't have them yet :)

I definitely want to reduce the amount of creatures and modify the deck. I haven't actually played with this deck, so my (probably stupid) policy is to grab a bunch of cards that I think may work well together and fit the theme, play a couple games (and lose horribly) and go from there. I like this site because of the feedback so I can edit before playing :) I think I may have some brain gorgers in my stockpile...I will have to look.

Thanks again! I'm glad you like the theme :) I'm still pretty new at making decks, so it makes me feel really great that someone likes the aesthetic!
