Deck Description

HORDE! I chose Zombies for my first Horde deck and had a lot of fun building it. I kept to a low budget for the deck, yet it seemed easy to build with help.

Please note that Sideboard cards are TOKENS: 55 Walking Corpse = 2/2 Zombie Token; 5 Quest for the Gravelord = 5/5 Zombie Token.

I don't recommend buying that many tokens (can be pricey). Find a place on the internet to print proxies (or visit inkwelllooter.blogspot.com for some cool cartoon looking Zombie Tokens).

How to Play

HORDE! This is a format of Casual deckbuilding where the decks play themselves verses you and some friends.

Each turn the Horde deck will flip over cards from atop its deck until it reveals a non-Token spell. The deck will cast all cards revealed this way. All Zombies have haste and will attack every turn. It's up to the players on how they would like to block. Things can get complicated when Planeswalkers are in play (so I would recommend not running them).

The deck wins by attacking the players until their Life totals are Zero (or below). The players deal damage to the Horde deck (where each one point of damage dealt will mill one card from the deck into the Graveyard) until the entire deck is in the Graveyard. The players can then win by eliminating all remaining Zombies from play.

HORDE Magic hasn't become very popular due to its random nature of gameplay (some games are easy, while others the Horde will crush you).

In 2014, Wizards released a small Minotaur Horde deck for their Theros block. It's a fun deck but, very weak compared to a 100-card Horde deck (as it's only 60 cards). I spiced my up a little by adding more Theros block Minotaurs into it.
