Reanimating The Dead

by Aralia on 14 August 2011

Main Deck (60 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

My first attempt at a single colour deck. Obviously the point is to keep bringing creatures back from the graveyard to slam my opponent with. Deck is made from cards I had available. Grateful for any advice on cards I could buy to improve this deck. Thanks.

Cadaver Imp would make a nice addition.

looks like you definitely need Lord of the Dead
you'd also exchange Zombie Goliath, probably with one of the following: Balthor the Defiled, Helldozer (though your mana curve is quite high already), Stronghold Assassin, Vengeful Pharaoh or Zombie Master

if you're playing a lot of multiplayer games you'd seriously consider exchanging drain life with exsanguinate as it hits all opponents - of course if this deck is for 1v1 only drain life is actually better in mono black

finally, if you'll ever have a lower mana curve you might want to exchange (1 of the) brink of desaster(s) with nettlevine blight

get rid of the tormented souls as they don't get pumped by your zombie lords. Zombie goliath isn't that great outside of a limited format and Gravebane Zombie actually hurts your deck. Try to replace brink of disaster with better spot removal like doom blade or go for the throat. Eradicate and monomania would be better used as better hand destruction like duress or despise. You should also consider reassembling skeletons which interact pretty well with Demon of Deaths Gate.
Black is also huge for card draw with cards like sign in blood, or phyrexian arena don't forget those guys.
