Korlash, Heir to Blackblade is a great zombie and a good way to accelerate your mana base (you must play 4). Discarding him to get 2 land into play and then sending him back to your hand with Lord of the Undead is always fun and you need ways to abuse all that land.

Land Abuse:

- Loxodon Warhammer on Korlash
- Corrupt and Tendrils of Corruption
- Ob Nixilis, the Fallen

I'm liking the Korlash. Even without the swamp advantage cards, its a good card to get a good amount of mana to finance my higher mana cards. What would I get rid of to put 4 of him into my deck though?

well if you are playing a vintage build i like using cabal coffers at three for the black mana boost and solemn simulacrum and extraplanar lens as a black mana ramp, but thats only for vintage i believe

actually it's called casual, it's vintage and legacy legal but not vintage and legacy playable. Just casual :)

I didn't update my list here, but I am thinking of getting some of those tombs of yargmoth or whatever they're called. Sweet cards. Gonna see what happens when I run this deck but if I end up needing more swamps, I'm going to have to pick up at least 1 of those tombs.
