Here’s what I consider the ultimate Zombies deck, Legacy.
It’s all about your cemetery, the gravecrawlers, together with the the Prized Amalgame are there to « feed » the Carrion. You bring these guys back, and the Colossus generates tokens. You can also count on the cryptbreaker and Kalitas to bring some additional tokens.
The Carrion is good to distract the attention of your opponents: they want to kill it as it quickly become a huge beast.
No need to introduce the Cryptbreaker. Don't forget to use its feature to discard your Prized Amalgam; they come back for free from your cemetery with the gravecrawler or any zombie you bring back.
I put quite a bunch or different lords in this version of the deck. The idea is to increase the odds for your zombies (incl. tokens) to survive the usual 'cleaners' that kills anything less than 2 or 3 manas.
Plus, Lord of the Accursed is an amazing card here, providing menace to all your zombies. The Baron also distracts your opponent, frighten by the deathtouch he gives to all your other zombies.
The two features of the Zombie Master will flip your gameplay. His ultracheap 'regenerate' is simply a nightmare for any opponent. Remember to always keep at least 1 swamp, though. The swampwalk to all your zombies is terrible and I added 2 Urborg lands for that.
I tried to make the deck only zombies and Kalitas is half-an-exception as he creates them. His lifelink boosts my self-confidence and will force your opponent to use a removal to quickly get rid of it. You should quickly sacrifice a gravecrawler once you have 3 lands up at the end of your opponent's turn, to give Kalitas two +1/+1.
Annul is there to help you manage graveyard hate cards such as Tormod’s Crypt, Nihil Spellbomb, Grafdigger’s Cage, and the like. Not much one can do against graveyard hate cards, except killing your opponents before they hate you! I'm looking forward to your suggestions for a better card here. Some may prefer 3* Dispossess.
Tragic slip is just what you need to get rid of any indestructible God or Glorybringer type of cards. You can deal with Planeswalkers with Never/Return.
It needs 21 lands and wouldn't advise trading this number with a smaller one. there are few 3 manas creatures and you will be glad to have an extra mana on your board to regenerate!
Transforming the Abbey is helpful as a finisher. It can also save you if you get alarmingly low in life: the Ormendahl Prince on the flip has flying, lifelink, indestructible and haste.
Last, you will note the 4 Stromgald Crusader in the side: just an idea to deal with decks with those cheap flying decks. a crusader alone is not great, but with death touch...
I keep playing this deck over and over. So many combinations to play with. Suggestions welcome
