Deck Description

zombies... 'nuff said.

Main Deck:
~LAND~
DARKSLICK SHORE - Comes into play tapped unless you have 2 or fewer lands on board. Taps for BLUE or BLACK. If possible play these as your first 2 lands. (4 in deck.)

DROWNED CATACOMB - Comes into play tapped unless you have a BASIC ISLAND or SWAMP in play. Taps for BLUE or BLACK. If possible, play these after you have played and ISLAND or SWAMP (4 in deck.)

SWAMP - BASIC LAND. Taps for BLACK mana. (14 in deck.)

ISLAND - BASIC LAND. Taps for BLUE mana. If for some reason your opponent destroys one of your lands but it allows you to search for a BASIC LAND, search for the ISLAND. (1 in deck)

~CREATURES~
DIREGRAF GHOUL - Comes into play tapped. 2/2 for 1 BLACK. If possible, play it on your 1st turn and 2nd turn.

CEMETERY REAPER - 2 BLACK and 1 other. Other ZOMBIES you control get +1/+1. Tap 1 BLACK and 2 other to exile a creature from your graveyard and put a 2/2 BLACK ZOMBIE token into play under your control. If possible, play on 3rd turn. (4 in deck.)

UNBREATHING HORDE - 1 BLACK and 2 other. It enters the battle field with X amount of +1/+1 counters where X is the number of ZOMBIES you control and are in your graveyard. Though it can b played on your 3rd turn, unless you have a mass amount of ZOMBIES in play and in your graveyard, hold off to play it until it can enter the battlefield as a big beefy. It can become a big beefy if used correctly with UNDEAD ALCHEMIST.(3 in deck.)

UNDEAD ALCHEMIST - 1 BLUE 3 others. If a ZOMBIE you control would deal combat damage to a player, instead that player puts that many cards from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard. Whenever a CREATURE card is put into an opponent's graveyard from his or her library, exile that card and put a 2/2 BLACK ZOMBIE CREATURE token onto the battlefield. If opponent is NOT playing a CREATURE heavy deck but does have either RED or GREEN, side these cards out and replace with FLASHFREEZE unless you deside to side out the DOOM BLADES instead. This is a CREATURE after all and if you sided these cards out your CREATURE to SPELL ratio will be altered. (3 in deck.)

PHYREXIAN OBLITERATOR - 4 BLACK.Trample. Whenever a source deals damage to PHYREXIAN OBLITERATOR, that source's controller sacrifices that many PERMANENTS. This is the main CREATURE for the deck. Although it is NOT a ZOMBIE, it is a 5/5 for 4 mana with amazing abilities and, since it is NOT legendary, you can have as many on board as possible. (4 in deck.)

GRAVE TITAN - 2 BLACK and 4 others. Deathtouch. Whenever Grave Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, put two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield. This CREATURE is also not a ZOMBIE however, it does have a ZOMBIE generating ability which also works well with the UNBREATHING HORDE.
(2 in deck.)

~SPELLS~
MANA LEAK - 1 BLUE and 1 other. Counter target spell. DO NOT be afraid to use these cards! Controlling your opponents hand will not only give you the upper hand but could also potentially crush their deck. Ideal use would be to counter a specific piece to the COMBO in their deck if said deck has one. (4 in deck.)

DOOM BLADE - 1 BLACK and 1 other. Destroy target NONBLACK CREATURE. If opponent is not playing a CREATURE heavy deck, side this card out for FLASHFREEZE. (4 in deck.)

GO FOR THE THROAT - 1 BLACK and 1 other. Destroy target NONARTIFACT CREATURE. Again, if your opponent is NOT playing a CREATURE heavy deck, these cards do you no good. (4 in deck.)

MOAN OF THE UNHALLOWED - 2 BLACK and 2 others.



Sideboard:
If opponent is playing RED and/or WHITE side in PHYREXIAN CRUSADERS. DO NOT use them to attack unless it is for the WIN or you will DIE if you don't. Use them to block; since they have protection from RED and WHITE no damage can be done to them from creatures of spells of those colors.

If opponent is playing RED and/or GREEN side in the FLASHFREEZES. It allows you to counter target GREEN or RED spell.

If opponent is playing GREEN and/or WHITE with heavy CREATURES side in the DEATHMARKS. It allows you to destroy target GREEN or WHITE CREATURE.

If opponent is playing with a CREATURE heavy deck side in DISMEMBER. Dismember will give target CREATURE -5/-5 until end of turn.
