This is a Tormod, the Desecrator budget deck that looks to self-mill through draw, discard, exile discarded card or dredge, discard, dredge to either go infinite or go wide (with zombie tokens).

Infinite Selfmill: Sage of the Falls and Greater Good can draw and discard or entire deck if creatures are made along the way. This is achieved by having Tormod, the Desecrator or Desecrated Tomb out and Containment Construct/Bag of Holding/Titans' Nest/any dredger. This is infinite, with the option to stop at any time, due to Guile.

Combo tutors: Trinket Mage, Tribute Mage, Mythos of Brokkos and Jarad's Orders

How to win after selfmilling: re-animate or cast Dreadhound/Syr Konrad, the Grim and restart the selfmilling.

High synergy cards:

Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix, tons of mana after draw discard loops (doesn't work with dredging) also great for "discouting" draw spells.

Angel of Suffering, stops us from taking damage untill it's removed.

Hordewing Skaab, looting can easily become dredge, discard make a flying zombie.

Brainstorm and Frantic Search, great ramp with Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix

Due to the budget mana base Zombie Trailblazer and Tortured Existence didn't make the cut despite being obvious synergy cards. Another synergy layer that has been cut completely is The Gitrog Monster overlapping synergies (check any good Gitrog combo deck and you'll see cards leaving the graveyard).

Another combo route that I don't see explored much in Tormod zombie tribal decks are Elemental Bond effects + anthems + dredge and discard outlets. In this deck it would involve adding to many pieces but in tribal decks the firts two should already be there and selfmill/dredge is usually there as well so adding the discard is easy. Maybe it's because zombie tribal decks don't usually have green.

What are your toughts/doubts? I'll be happy to get sugestions and explain my card choices.
