Deck Description

a standard zombie deck

the sideboard is a failsafe to alter the deck completely.
drag in the undead alchemists, swords... and use the deck as a mill deck with zombie tokens.

if you don't like the sideboard for milling, you an always add:
- 4x go for the throat
- 4x doom blade
- 3x life's finale
- 2x geth, lord of the vault
- 2x skinrender

for more creatures and control

if you prefer zombie tokens, there's an option for this deck too:
2x grave titan
3x mimic vat
2x army of the damned
2x endless ranks of the undead
4x moan of the unhallowed
2x life's finale

this allows for several zombie tokens
try to get a grave titan under a mimic vat as soon as possible
then you can make 4 zombie tokens per turn for only 3 mana (and you have a 6/6 deathtouch/haste creature)

Deck discussion for blue/black zombies

Not actually a zombie, but have you considered the Mindshrieker for added mill and flying blockers?

You also seem to be a bit light on land, maybe drop the Skaab Goliath's and the Unbreathing Hordes to bump your land up to 20?

Maybe consider siding Army of the Damned instead of Geth.

i've tested the deck on several occasions and the land usually feels ok, i was thinking of increasing to 18.

the geth is better with the other sideboard cards, eventhough 13 zombie tokens is fun. but geth allows you to put more cards in they're graveyards which means i get more zombie tokens for the creatures.
both geth's effect and his intimidating attack allow for milling here, which is the true strength behind it.

the sideboard and other sideboards i gave in the info give more options for the deck, the one i posted is to change the deck from a zombie/graveyard deck to an agressive Mill deck

A fun fact about Undead Alchemist that a lot of people overlook - because of the way his abilities are worded, any form of mill will exile creatures and give you 2/2 black zombies :p

that's exactly why i combine him with the swords, jace and other effects, it's the perfect card for a qtrong and fast miling deck that allows for more zombies every turn
