Deck discussion for Night of the Living Dead

Zombie Master and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is a great consideration here. There's really no reason to not fuel/pump the zombies as best as you can, and making them unblockable could do just that. Also, consider Gempalm Polluter for it's cycling ability to do some damage along the way.

Demonic Tutor could help you search for key elements; Dark Ritual for acceleration so you an get some of those three drops out turn 1.

Hope these suggestions help!

I welcome any comments and criticism you can offer for any of the decks I have posted here on the site (just click on my name to see the deck list). Thanks in advance!

Thanks Rustedbucket, I was considering Zombie Master but he isn't an actual Zombie so that is why I didn't add him. That is also why I have my Lord of the Undead in the side board. I have thought about adding some dark rituals to get things kicked off faster and I also have been thinking about adding Phyrexean Crusader as well. I kind of threw this together on the fly because I have been wanting to build a zombie deck for a while and I wanted to just get my idea down so that it wouldn't trouble me too much anymore. Now I can work on fleshing it out.

Yeah, Zombie Master was errated to where he IS a zombie now. Look it up on Oracle. The card says Lord, but he's been altered to be a Zombie.

Most likely the best possible hand would be 2 dark rituals, 1 peat bog, 1 swamp, 2 buried alive, 1 patriarch's bidding. If I draw a entomb and swamps that would be awesome too. This is how the turns would play out for best game with best hand and draws.

1 Turn
Draw Entomb
Play Peat bog

2nd Turn
Draw Swamp
Play Swamp
Play Buried Alive (2 Death Baron, 1 Lord of the Undead)

3rd Turn
Draw Swamp
Play Swamp
Play Buried Alive (1 Cemetery Reaper, 1 Phyrexian Crusader, 1 Vengeful Dead)

Two Choices: Go for the Patriarch's Bidding with the two Dark Rituals and lay out all my zombies or entomb for 1 more
If I Entomb I would go for another Death Baron/Cemetery Reaper/Lord of the Undead

4th Turn
Draw Peat Bog
Play Peat Bog

If I Entombed last turn then I would go for the Patriarch's Bidding else I am going to attack with 4 5/5 Deathtouch Zombies, 1 6/6 Deathtouch Infect Firststrike Pro Red and White Zombie, and 1 7/6 Deathtouch Zombie where if any of them die I can bring them back and all opponents take 1 damage. If I Entombed last turn then add +1/+1 to all the zombies and I can attack next turn

5th Turn
Draw Patriarch's Bidding
Play Swamp
Attack!!!
