Deck Description

This is part of a 5-color tribal pauper battle chest. I've been using it to get newer players into MTG, which is why I didn't include too many convoluted combos and over powered cards. At the time of building, all 5 decks will cost you under $100 (non-foil; possibly a little over if foiled).

This is the black Zombie tribal deck.

How to Play

This deck focuses on non-combat life loss. While still producing tokens, this deck focuses less on pumping your tribe and more on getting them on the board and/or getting them in the graveyard. It introduces new players to cycling, graveyard hate, straightforward removal, creature recursion, devotion, and -1/-1 counters.

Notable examples:

Witch's Cottage and Mortuary Mire put a creature from your graveyard on top of your library
Ghoul Carrier brings zombie cards back to your hand
Cycling Gempalm Polluter with a board full of zombies drains the life of opponents quickly
Shrivel works as a boardwipe if need be. Hits your little creatures that you want to die anyways. Leaves most of your big stuff.
Gray Merchant of Asphodel is a great finisher
