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

A zombie deck with a lot of synergy. Almost all zombie creatures will be buffed by cards like Cemetery Reaper, Death Baron, Diregraf Captain and Undead Warchief, as well as Mikaeus if the game lasts long enough.

Zombies will have undying, deathtouch, as well as generating zombie tokens to keep up a wall of scurry zombies that don't seem to die.
On top of that, your opponent's creatures are likely to join your ranks as zombie creatures.

Currently there is a lack of control - this is currently something I am looking into.

How to Play

Getting cards like Cemetery Reaper, Death Baron, Diregraf Captain and Undead Warchief out is important. They boost your zombie force, making them cheaper, more powerful and give them deathtouch.

With Endless Ranks of the Dead, you have a steady stream of zombie tokens coming in, whom also will be boosted by the aforementioned zombies and with Grimoire of the Dead, all those creatures you have send to the GY will return as zombies!

With Grimgrin and Gravecrawler, you can keep untapping Grimgrin and Gravecrawler will keep coming back no matter what and with Diregraf Captain, your opponent will lose life, whether he likes it, or not!

With Dread Slaver and Undead Alchemist, you'll also thwart your opponent, stealing his creatures, filling your field with more zombies and tokens, whilst exiling his creatures.

Deck discussion for Deck of the Dead

Personally I'd put another Diregraf captain into the deck and remove a single instance of another lord. Diregraf's captains lose 1 life ability is really strong if used correctly. Should you have some kind of sac ability to go with it it would be even better especially with Gravecrawler.

Other than that.. Pretty nice deck though it doesn't have any kind of control except for Call to the Grave and Death Barons Deathtouch ability.

Yeah, the lack of control is something I am aware of - I feel like taking out Vile Rebirth for some Murder like spells.

I could add in another Diregraf Captain. With Gravecrawler and Grimgrin this could work effectively in pinging my opponent. Maybe I can add a second Grimgrin.

Thanks for the feedback!

No problem. Together with the GrimGrin you'd be able to do some substantial lifeloss upon you're opponent. ;)
