Dead Rising; Gisa's Unending Hordes?

Commander / EDH Mono-Black Theme/Gimmick Tokens Tokens Zombie

Yokaiinu


Gisa Zombie Tribal EDH. Cards I know need to be added for certain are Phyrexian Altar and some other form of sac outlet to assist with Dictate of Erebos and Open the Graves. I would also like to add Haunting Voyage In place of Ever After simply because it's a better value for the same cost. Vizier of the Scorpion with Death Baron so that all zombies I control get deathtouch instead of just the tokens, plus an additional +1/+1. Either Boneknitter or Zombie Trailbalzer with Zombie Master. Noxious Ghoul would play very well with the amount of tokens I would like to generate, and the obvious Cabal Coffers though Caged Sun and Cabal Stronghold are more price effective, and maybe Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth would help the Zombie Master or Trailblazer.

Cards that I would like but probably won't go out of my way to include are Liliana, Dreadhorde General, Liliana's Devotee is a hard maybe. It looks good, but I don't know if I could justify it. Geth, Lord of the Vault for reanimator value in any graveyard. Magus of the Coffers would be good ramp, but I'm not sure it's needed. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet might be a good replacement for Josu Vess, Lich Knight in terms of token production. Entomb and/ or Buried Alive for early game shennanigans and Reanimate for the same reason. Dread Summons could be interesting, but I'm not sure it's worth the slot. Dreadhorde Invasion produces a token each turn and gives lifelink, this one will probably be a must have eventually. Grave Pact to either work with Dictate or replace it. Black Market for obvious sacrifice and death reasons. Call to the Grave has me on the ropes. It might be good, but it also might not be worth removing something for.

Currently, the deck works pretty good. Gravecrawler and Ghoulcaller Gisa are great at synergizing together with Dictate of Erebos or Open the Graves, especially is Gravecrawler has some +1/+1 buffs. The deck also loves keeping our creatures on the field, specifically those lords and Grave Titan. Endless Ranks of the Undead and Coat of Arms work great in tandem with each other. Otherwise, the decks primary focus is to overrun opponents before they can find answers to our enchants and armies.
