My current build of zombie tribal for standard before rotation. Now with an experimental gift sideboard.

Gameplan

Phase 1: Playing out zombies on curve. Prioritising the aggression package over the support package.

Phase 2: Playing out lords and filling graveyard.

Phase 3: Utilising graveyard for value.

Card Choices

Aggression:

Cards that provide high potential power for their CMC, allowing the deck to quickly assert itself as the beat down.

Lords:

No need to explain the reasoning for running these cards.

Support:

Supply the deck with graveyard value that gets us there in more grindy match-ups.

Removal:

Push and contempt are pretty standard in the format. Vicious Offering was chosen over Moment of Craving as it is able to sac our own creatures in response to exile effects for later graveyard value.

Sideboarding

Gift switch:

Out:

2x Liliana's Mastery

1x Josu Vess, Lich Knight

1x Liliana, Death's Majesty

1x Liliana, Untouched By Death

1x Lord of the Accursed

In:

4x Gate to the Afterlife

2x God-Pharaoh's Gift

Experimenting with a transformative sideboard. Aiming to make the deck efficiently utilise gift post-sideboard.

Suggestions are sorely needed for this strategy become better. If there is any card that filters or gets gift online faster, let me know.
