Deck Description

B/U standard legal Zombie deck. Looking for advice on RtR cards to cycle in, and sideboard advice. This deck is pretty lethal right now... I can usually have at least 7-15 zombies out on the board by around turn 5, and then the generating starts. Still, it seems to run into trouble more than it should, so I'm looking for something to give it a bit more reliability to win (as in, what can I replace Cellar Door and Havengul Runebinder with.... I have 3 more Grimgrin's in the mail....).

Deck discussion for Braaains

In my opinion, Diregraf Ghoul would be better than Butcher Ghoul. Slitherhead is another Zombie definitely worth looking for, as he has a ton of useful synergy in a deck like this.

U have some cards in the main deck, that should be sideboard, like Dispel & Essence Scatter...

19 lands R very few... Use 21 instead!..

I think U'd like this deck (B/G/U Zombies): http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=393748

I keep flip-flopping on Diregraf Ghoul. I prefer Butcher Ghouls because I can sac them to my Bone Splinters or Grimgrin, and get them back at a premium.

The Dispels and Essence Scatters are in there to replace the Negates I used to have in there, although I think Cancel is back in RtR, so I was thinking of subbing them out in favor of Cancels?

Call to the kindred will get you two for 1'd all day you'll attach then they'll blow up your creature I agree 19 lads are too few
I'm not sold on blustersquall an dispel should never ever ever be main boarded there several deck which play no instants index is a weak card it'll help sometimes but not much essence scatters shouldn't be mainboarded
Bone splinters works but tragic slip may be better or perhaps both?
Rise from the grave could work its interesting not nessecarily a first choice for me but this I could see an argument for
Geralf's messenger is a solid card but you may have to warp your mana base or wait till turn 5 or so to play him either way he's still that good he's a game winner
Undead alchemists and havengul runebinders are only okay they help your deck in a vacuum but not always in play
You say your deck has 7-15 zombie's turn 5 it means your playing a bad opponent or some how stopped your plan
Also forbidden alchemy is a good card espically if you see a grave crawler in top 5 you ditch him get what you want and still play him
I agree slither head is worth looking at but I'm not sure he's that aggressive but whatever
