So here's the deal. My friend and I play commander and he keeps beating me. He plays mono-blue and I play either mono-black of blue-black. The theme of my deck is usually zombies or vampires. For now I threw them all in the mix.

The biggest issue is his commander: Thassa, God of the Sea . He uses it to make creatures unblockable that have an "when deal damage to an opponent" effect that allow him to draw cards or search my library for an artifact and stuff like that. He usually wins by loading Thassa full of equipment and aura's and dealing the 21 commander damage. (using unblockable)

These are the categories in my deck.

Killing Thassa won't help since he can cast it again cheaply. So I'd rather shrink it to a 1/1: Fume Spitter , Fang Skulkin , Skinrender, Black Sun's Zenith, Incremental Blight , Grim Affliction

Bombs/gamechangers: Anowon, the Ruin Sage, Ascendant Evincar , Bloodline Keeper   , Desecration Demon, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed,Shepherd of Rot,Army of the Damned, Consume Spirit , Zombie Apocalypse, Endless Ranks of the Dead, Elbrus, the Binding Blade  , Lashwrithe , Vampire Nighthawk

Good creatures that aren't bombs: Carrion Howler , Helldozer , Liliana's Reaver, Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis , Skirsdag High Priest, Unbreathing Horde , Kalastria Highborn

Zombie tribal benefits from: Cemetery Reaper, Ascendant Evincar , Lim-Dul the Necromancer , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed

Vampire tribal benefits from: Ascendant Evincar , Malakir Bloodwitch, Bloodline Keeper   , Vampire Nocturnus, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Kalastria Highborn

Tutors for digging up bombs: Corpse Connoisseur , Diabolic Tutor

Single removal: Dash Hopes, Fleshbag Marauder, Fume Spitter (for x/1 creatures), Gatekeeper of Malakir , Hex Parasite (for planeswalkers), Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis , Vampire Hexmage (for planeswalkers), Devour Flesh, Consume Spirit , Geth's Verdict , Tragic Slip, Urge to Feed
