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

this deck is based around zombie infestation and graveborn muse, draw cards, discard, get more zombie, draw more card dicard, etc. etc. this deck could use some attention, would you mind helpimg me out with this? i think this deck could reach great potential, but right now, it is just an average zombie deck. (this deck is modern)

How to Play

draw, dicard, zombies.

Deck discussion for Amazing Zombie Combo!!

Hope you kill them quick
You are drawing a lot, but at the cost of your life. I don't really even like the concept, but I accept it.
Maybe somehow have Whip of Erebos to gain your life back?

yeah i been looking at some life gain, but couldnt find any good. i must have just read over whip without thinking of adding it!

i'd reccomend swapping out a whip of erebos or two alongside a couple diregraf ghouls for a stromgald crusader or two and a couple putrid imps, they'd help you out with discarding and give you at least a light defense against flying creatures, plus, they cost 1 and 2 so they won't be driving the mana curve way up like those zombies that have flying without payment.

maybe a curse of shallow graves, but that may be a pain to get a copy of.
liliana's reaver maybe?

Zombies aren't my usual area of focus ( elves are) so i'm sorry i couldn't think of much else.

my best deck is debatably my elf deck ( the other debateably best deck is either my jund judgement, or my metallic screams deck) but Zombies can be fun

i just realised that gravecrawler could work really well with discard

definitely could, it's a 1 drop, highly expendable attacker, i'd definitely run one or two if i had em and a zombie deck up and running.

I'd run 2 and drop 2 Whip of Erebos
While the whip is great, it is a Legendary

Okay, so, what I would do is make it so there is not so much unnecessary life loss. You can drain your health with this, and it will make you loose the game faster. Even if it means winning a turn earlier, it can make your opponents win 2 or 3 turns earlier. So to counteract this, you are going to want more life gain, or get rid of the cards that make you loose life. I see the combo, and I also see killing yourself with it. Even with the whip, especially since you only have 2, you are going to kill yourself with this combo. Now, I can see that this deck is fast, but even by turn 5 or 6 you could be looking at your life total becoming 0. Seeing that I am not an expert on black decks, especially decks like this one, I can't help you on what card to add in, but I can tell you that you need more life gain. If you do this by adding white, let me know and I can give you a list of cards that would work wonder in this deck, and provide you with a win condition by loosing life. Anyway, that is about all I can think of, otherwise good, but you need more life gain.

Type your deck name...ive edited the deck a bit now, and have too many cards. what do you think? what should i take out?

That will help, but it will still not be enough. Definitely keep the Demon's horn, but try finding another substitute for your 2 instants. The cost is not worth the life gain. Again, white in this deck would be a killer. what do you mean by type your deck name? are you talking to me?

that deck name thing was a glitch, and also, even though white would be a great addition, i fear that if i added white i would have mana problems as this would be a mainly black deck. i would probably need expensive dual lands, and orzhov lands are probabbly the most pricey. which is why i looked at artifact life gain.

I have been looking through some cards for ya, and I would actually add the whip back in, and see if there is a way to give your creatures , flying, fear, or intimidate. This way the life gain is guaranteed. However, this would be a 2 card combo, and only 4 of each card, so my advice is if you want this to work, you are going to have to add white. I know of some duel lands that are not expensive, you could use them. Give it a thought. Get back to me tomorrow once you are thought it over

If it makes you feel any better, I have been working on my modular construct deck that went up on the hot page about a week and a half ago, and I am still far from finished with it. Yesterday, I lost to a valakut ramp deck that had no creatures out and was a turn 7 or 8 win. That shouldn't happen with that deck. I didn't have the best hand, but it still shouldn't have performed that badly.

Adding in the lands will raise the cost only by about 5$. I wouldn't be to concerned about it if it makes your deck work

i just tested this deck, i would agree that i need more life gain, and i need to swap some cards out too.

maybe , switch demon horn for door of destinies or kill spells

0

although door of destinies is very tempting, demon horn is my main source of life gain, and without it this deck would break.

Get rid of Demon's Horn NOW
one of the WORST cards ever, of all time

If you're going to use a similar but still terrible card, go for the M14 black staff

you may think demon's horn is bad, but inthis deck it has been the card that has saved me many times.

If you insist on using them, go Staff of Death Magus

for an extra one mana, its not worth it. by turn 3, i should have most of my land down already. i might get another 2, maximum 3 land down before the game ends, and so i dont think that for one mana it is really worth the upgrade.

It seems like you need some black life gain in this deck... what about Vampire Nighthawk or Exsanguinate?

1

exsanguigate is too slow for this deck, and i would add vampire nighthawk, but it wouldn't be boosted by my other zombies. Thanks for the help though!

Good deck! Comboes are always nice!

Since you already have self-discard, and this deck is mono black, would it be possible to add Bog Witch?

Unfortunately, Bog Witch isn't modern. Thanks for the advice though!

Better use of zombi infestation, i have won so many games with this.

Ok a few suggestions, maybe gray merchant of asphodel as he causes damage and gains life so with exquisite blood you'd double your life gain from him. Second, maybe a couple sanguine bond? Sanguine bond and exquisite blood love each other.... They have babies out of wedlock. Also maybe staff of the death magus over demons horn? It cost one more but you gain life for just dropping land. Paired with exquisite blood and sanguine bond it could win a game just by playing land cards.

Definitely agree with this, infinite combo with sanguine bond and exquisite blood. Use that in one of my decks.

If you're looking to spam out zombies then you could put in a grave betrayal. Endless ranks of the dead is another good one to swarm the field, but that could kill you quickly I combination with graveborn muse...

Endless is probably a bit late game for this deck
