Deck Description

A friend brought a zombie deck to me and asked for some help making it work better, so this is what I came up with. Lot's of regenerating zombies with death touch!

Urborg + Zombie Master = Unblockable/Regenerating zombies

Add in Death Baron and your zombies now have death touch.

Call to the grave helps keep your opponents creature count down while Endless Ranks of the Dead makes sure you keep zombies on the field.

After watching this deck in play it really has so much going on at one time. Between Demonic Tutor and Dark Ritual it's easy to get your big guns out early and maintain a creature advantage. Grimoire of the Dead is always fun but 1 on 1 the game doesn't last long enough to take advantage of it. But between Lord of the Undead bringing zombies back and Gravecrawler coming back it's easy enough to make it work if the game draws out. Cycle Gempalm Polluter for some massive damage too.

Deck discussion for Fun with Zombies

I friggen love zombies so despite the pain it will cause whoever you play against i will tell you this. Noxious Ghoul would be good in this deck instead of call to the grave, every time Endless Ranks activates, it sends -x,-x to all non-zombie creatures where x is the amount of zombies that came on the field with endless ranks not including other zombies. With my zombie deck that usually wipes the field more often than not. The best is the fact that the only person not set back is you.

Thanks for the comment!

I like your suggestion too, that's a nasty combo. I'm going to add it to the sideboard for now so I can keep it in mind! My friend loves the way this deck plays as is but I at least want him to test this out. He took it down to FNM for some casual play and it performed really well. He won 4 out of 5 matches easy enough. But I agree this may be a better way to go.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my decks! Feel free to check out some of my other stuff too.

This looks like a fun deck to play with. maybe think about army of the damned or Grim affliction ( to proliferate Door of Destinies) if you want.
Can you take a look at mine and see if there is something a little bit more i can do to it.

Left you a comment!

I did recommend Army of the Damned for this deck during the construction. He liked the idea and it will most likely be put in here soon. However, I'm not sure what I'd remove to make room for it.
I really like the idea of proliferate with Door of Destinies. I'll have to find a way to switch things around to test both of these out and see how well it works.
