Commander 2018 Updates:

Shadows over Innistrad and Eldritch Moon, added several improvements. But the deck always used Oloro, Ageless Ascetic. Now however, Varina, Lich Queen has combined all the themes I've worked on with this deck, into a single card which is a great opportunity as a commander.

Since 2015 there has been some significant cards notably from Theros and Commander that have helped form a complex an intricate enchantment-zombie Esper coloured deck that wouldn't and couldn't have existed before.

This deck forms one part of a three part, three colour zombie deck series (Grixis, BUG and Esper). The series attempts to use a variety of zombies across all three decks without too much duplication. This deck is specifically built for Necromancer's Covenant, Daxos the Returned and so has an enchantment sub-theme that utilises the U/B/W relevant zombie enchantments, as well as the lifegain, card draw and discard triggers from Varina.

The synergies are complex because to have a white zombie deck, you need the strong zombie cards to support Daxos the Returned which are largely in black and in blue. Rooftop Storm as an enchantment is a good example of the crossover I was looking for.

The main themes are "whenever you gain life", Constellation, Zombie and Draw/Discard.

The most synergistic cards include Wall of Limbs, Daxos the Returned, Siren of the Silent Song, Pontiff of Blight, Grim Guardian and Agent of Erebos. The token strategy is also strong with cards like Endless Ranks of the Undead and Necromancer's Covenant.
