Main Strategy

This is a fairly simple, reliable combo deck that focuses around Carrion Feeder + Undead Augur . With these cards it allows you to enable huge card advantage over your opponent, with the addition of Geralf's Messenger + Unearth you can also drain your opponent quickly. This deck generally wants to mill itself with Stitcher's Supplier and then combo off of it with either Return to the Ranks or Rally the Ancestors . If enough creatures are in your graveyard this way, you can win the game with them entering, and if not, sacrificing them to Carrion Feeder and swinging in for large amounts of damage.

Sideboard

Sideboarding with this deck is tricky as usually, you do not want to get rid of the main combo pieces. In certain matchups, if you know they are going to have large amounts of graveyard hate you switch out your Return to the Ranks and Rally the Ancestors with Death Baron in order to switch to a more classic tribal zombies deck. I chose this route of switching strategies instead of sideboarding in enchantment/artifact removal due to the fact that it would take up a large amount of the sideboard, and a quicker way around that would be to ignore the opponent's sideboard as much as possible. Gray Merchant of Asphodel , Kaya's Guile and Sorin, Solemn Visitor are all good inclusions against aggressive decks when you need additional life gain.

If you have any suggestions for this deck, please let me know! Thanks, any advice would be much appreciated.
