A lot of decks will use Hashaton, Scarab's Fist to get out big costing good creatures for cheap. I wanted to use him to get a ton of zombie token copy creatures and run a more traditional zombie tribal deck.

Since we now have him, part of the build was to only consider zombie creatures, I added some good cards that should be considered such as Gisa and Geralf to the sideboard that should probably go into a deck like this but won't as they aren't zombies. the maybeboard are other zombies that were considered but weren't put in for one reason or another they might go in at a later date depending on how this version currently preforms.

Please feel free to make any and all suggestions.

Combos:

We have the traditional zombie combos that you will see in most decks:

Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born for infinite ETB/Death Triggers and Grimgrin getting to be a huge counter boi

Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar for infinite ETB/Death Triggers and either colored or colorless mana

Anointed Procession + Renewed Solidarity is not infinite but gets x3 tokens at end of turn for every token that came in this turn. Thought is to abuse this with Hashaton, Scarab's Fist or Cleaver Skaab

Nevinyrral, Urborg Tyrant is mostly in here to abuse with Hashaton, Scarab's Fist + Ratadrabik of Urborg along with token doublers. Can also be used as a board wipe if things are going poorly.
